Photography Exhibition by Maan Limburg: “Without Us”

Apr 12, 2024 at 7:00pm ~ May 12, 2024 at 10:00am

The exhibition “Without Us” at Jinny Street Gallery, features selected photography from Dutch artist Maan Limburg’s project “The Lost World.”

For many city dwellers, Japan is a country of high buildings, an up-tempo lifestyle, with a cute countryside that feels like an afterthought. However, for Dutch artist Maan Limburg, the country stands for desolation and empty houses.

Limburg started photographing the places she encountered while traveling the countryside in 2018 and 2019. She found an incredible number of abandoned houses, factories, hotels, and restaurants–all full of memories of people long gone. Her images of these locations will be shown in the “Lost World”.

Jinny Street Gallery will hold a special opening event on April 12, 2024 that will include a panel discussion and an artist talk to gain a deeper understanding of Limburg’s work. There will also be an opportunity to chat with other artists and have a few drinks at Café 222.
