Communiqué de presse - IMA Magazine
Au cours des dernières années, un nombre croissant de photographes japonais a été largement salué par le marché international de la photographie d'art. Leurs travaux font désormais partie des collections permanentes des grandes institutions artistiques comme le Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) ou le Centre Pompidou. Surfant sur cette vague montante de nouveaux talents nippons, le magazine IMA organise depuis 2013 une série d'expositions en collaboration avec Panasonic Corporation / LUMIX. Ce dernier soutient et promeut cette génération émergente de jeunes photographes qui prenne la relève de la photographie d'art japonaise.
