Privilege Gary McLeod

8:01 Japan Travel
Privilege Gary McLeod

"Immigration is a privilege. Refugees flee persecution to a foreign haven. Workers, skilled and unskilled, move abroad for better - or simply different - experiences and opportunities. Becoming an expatriate can be both a personal choice - as well as an adventure. Only visas and their ilk spoil the sense of fun."

This is how Gary McLeod introduces his photograph exhibition of portraits of foreign English teachers in Japan that was showing at Zuishoji Art Projects in Shirokanedai between 17 & 23 September.

McLeod is a young photographer and researcher. His doctoral research is on the H.M.S. Challenger, a British ship that made a voyage of scientific research, visiting every continent in the world between 1872 and 1876 with a team of experts on board from a wide range of fields. One of the most memorable results of the voyage for those back in Britain at the time was the collection of photographs taken of "natives" from everywhere the ship had landed, including those of Japan.



In "Privilege," McLeod has also taken "natives" as his subjects: English "native speakers" in Japan. More than that, he has consciously incorporated the technology of his period of research into the project by using a Dallmeyer lens from the 19th century, made in England, on the digital camera he used. This had the effect of drastically reducing the scope of the photos he was able to take, meaning he had to shoot the numerous small portions of the subject that the lens allowed him, and then put the sections together using software, to produce the distinctive mosaic-style "Privilege" result.

The squares of different tone had the effect of training the eye on the various parts of the subject that they overlapped, block by block. I was particularly fascinated by how look in the eye, in particular, of each subject, was accentuated by the technique, almost eerily, to the point of recreating, perhaps, the sense of wonder that the nineteenth century still felt for photography.

Takase River Art Exhibit - Kyoto

19:21 Japan Travel
Takase River, Kyoto高瀬川京都

Kyoto's Takase River is a narrow canal that runs parallel to Kiyamachi Dori (street) from Nijo-Kiyamachi down to Fushimi, in southern Kyoto. The canal dates from 1611.

It is quite close the Kamo River and follows alongside it for roughly 10 km, separated only by Pontocho and Kiyamachi.

Prior to the invention of the steam engine and internal combustion engine, rivers and canals were used to transport both people and goods in Japan.

In the case of Kyoto, small barges carried goods on the Takase River within Kyoto and then, farther down where the canal meets the Kamo River, to Osaka.

Takase River, KyotoToday is is a pleasant break from the concrete and neon, mainly thanks to the willow trees that line the canal. Near Nijo, several of the barges are moored and there is a plaque explaining the history of the area and the canal.

Kiyamachi is beset known today as a nightlife area, with bars and restaurants and brothels on the side streets. At night, students and young people and lovers throng the narrow streets.

Last week, though, riding down Kiyamachi during the day to avoid the traffic on Kawaramachi, we noticed many works of art in the river itself.

They were set on concrete blocks in the river, and labeled. The exhibit was a competition with winners and prizes.

The works ranged from the highly abstract to the merely odd.

One wonders what the pimps and whores, students and salarymen, geisha and tourists make of this as they make their nightly rounds.
