In this exhibition Michael Jang, John Harding, and Hiroyo Kaneko show people in action photographed with 6x6 (medium format) color film.
Walking in crowds on Market Street, San Francisco with a Hasselblad SWC (super wide angle lens), John Harding captures people’s motions by courageously confronting them as if he is invisible. Michael Jang got familiar with a group of teenagers--“the toughest thing that I’ve ever infiltrated”--and grasped the energy gushing out of them playing rock and roll. Hiroyo Kaneko conducted one-to-one sessions with children and adults while they were singing in order to catch intimate moments.
Among common aspects in these three bodies of work, one fundamental feature is that all love photography but also carry an ambivalent point of view about it, between optimism and sarcasm, belief and doubt, fear and courage. This two-sidedness partly stems from our common experience of working as commercial photographers paralleled to our individual art practices.
All three photographers work within the traditional limitations of film photography. They all seek actual happenings and photograph people that occur in front of their cameras they’d like to share with viewers joy, mystery, and humanity as it appears in depictions of spontaneous moments in the lives of the people pictured.
