Noritoshi Hirakawa

Christophe Guye Galerie, Zurich

Christophe Guye Galerie is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition unión de...Interactional Casa Barragán, introducing the latest work of the internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Noritoshi Hirakawa.

For the very first time on view in Europe, following the museum exhibition Noritoshi Hirakawa x Luis Barragán, in Mexico City, this solo exhibition presents the suggestive while sensual series unión de.... In a way distinctly his own, the photography, video, and performance artist Hirakawa manages with intriguing visuals and story-telling attributes to visualise the synergy between man and architecture, while similarly a critique directed against representations of space. Offering an unfamiliar take on architectural photography Hirakawa focuses on conceptions that inhabitants give space life.

Inspired by the creations of architect Luis Barragán, the artist manages to capture the essence, rather than the structure, of the famed Casa Barragán, as well as Barragáns notorious emotional approach to architecture. Furthermore, the gallery is pleased to present the corresponding monograph unión de... Interactional Casa Barragán published by Hatje Cantz, one of the leading international publishers for art publications.
