Priyageetha Dia, The Sea is a Blue Memory, 2022
Aiming to re-examine the increasingly diversified means by which moving images are created and appreciated, the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions has been dedicated to moving images not as an exclusive category, but with an eye to the various alternative views it embraces. The festival continues to serve as a platform for promoting and sustaining alternative visions that art and moving images can inspire in us. In the years since its inception, as the festival has featured moving images from Japan and abroad while presenting a new theme with each edition that asks anew “What is a ‘moving image’?”, the circumstances surrounding moving images have changed dramatically, while the frameworks and technologies that define moving images have diversified.
Amidst such change, the festival’s 2025 edition will aspire to an ever deeper investigation of the nature of moving images by exhibiting new works by four finalists in the Commission Project (3rd floor exhibition gallery), which is returning for its second edition. This exhibition, along with several new programs connected to this year’s theme, will further reinforce the role of the festival as a forum for moving images.
Two works by Priyageetha Dia are on view:
Venue: Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, Yebisu Garden Place, affiliated local facilities, etc.
