I'm So Happy You Are Here

In the organizer's words:

With photographs from the 1950s to the present day, the exhibition I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE offers a new and exciting look at Japanese photography. The focus is on female photographers and their perspective on everyday life and society in Japan.

The Fotografie Forum Frankfurt presents the exhibition curated by Lesley A. Martin, Takeuchi Mariko and Pauline Vermare as the only stop in Germany on its world tour.
