(via the Japan Society) Tomoko Yoneda (1965– ) Tomoko Yoneda concentrates on suppressed historical and cultural narratives that have helped form the power relations of the present. Kimusa focuses on interior views of a site in Seoul that was the main military hospital during the Japanese colonial period (1910–45) and was then taken over in 1971 by the DSC, a counter-intelligence agency that interrogated, and at times tortured, its own nationals as well as fomenting political unrest. Yoneda’s photographs make no direct reference to these histories, revealing only the spare geometries of the shadows of furniture, shelves, and appliances that used to be housed there.

To show respect for the lives and homes lost, many events have been canceled or toned down a bit, including the Kawasaki festival where, this year, the big penis omikoshi (a portable Shinto shrine carried on the shoulders of men) was kept in its pants and not brought out into the streets. According to people who come annually, this year’s festival was much smaller in length and girth than usual. Read the rest at Vice Magazine: KAWASAKI IS FULL OF DICKS - Viceland Today
