Summary: A conversation between Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama and CCA visiting curator Hubertus von Amelunxen on the exhibition Naoya Hatakeyama: Scales. The conversation is in English and Japanese with simultaneous translation by Minoru Tsunoda. Commissioned by the CCA, Naoya Hatakeyama created three photographic series of architectural models that challenge notions of scale and the perception of reality. He speaks about the series in the context of his work, and about the photographs from the CCA Collection that inspired them, in this conversation with CCA visiting curator Hubertus von Amelunxen. Naoya Hatakeyama is one of Japan’s leading photographers. Since the mid-eighties, the Tokyo-based artist has created a body of work concerned largely with the relationship between nature and cities. Naoya Hatakeyama: Scales was on view 27 September 2007 to 3 February 2008 and is the fourth and concluding exhibition in the Tangent series, which seeks to bring contemporary artists into dialogue with the CCA Collection.
