RADIOGRAPHIE DE L'INTIME - 02.11.23 - 03.02.24
Tokyo Rumando, Sakiko Nomura, Sayuri Ichida, Emi Anrakuji
Absentee has been showcased in a group show, along with works of Sakiko Nomura, Tokyo Rumando and Emi Anrakuji, at Gallery Écho 119 in Paris.
The group exhibition, entitled 'X-rays of Intimacy,' showcases four Japanese women photographers: Tokyo Rumando, Sakiko Nomura, Sayuri Ichida, and Emi Anrakuji.
Using the camera to observe their own bodies or the bodies of others, representing these bodies, transforming them, and challenging the perceptions of those who watch... This is what these artists have been exploring in their series, which we chose to exhibit together to provide space for women's perspectives and to open a photographic dialogue on intimacy and its representations in both Japanese and Western societies.
In their own unique ways, Tokyo Rumando, Sakiko Nomura, Sayuri Ichida, and Emi Anrakuji focus on intimacy. They photograph models or themselves, creating and acting in their own staged scenarios to question and reclaim their identities. By directing the lens toward the intimate—whether in a direct, disguised, metaphorical, or concealed manner—they help to reshape representations of the female body, nudity, desire, and sexuality, which have historically been shaped by the male gaze.

Mayu has been featured in Leica’s M-System Campaign
M is M
M-Photography is more than just capturing a moment; it's about capturing the emotion, the essence, and the soul behind that moment. Since 1954, the Leica M has been part of history. It’s more than a camera – it’s an icon of design, a testament to unparalleled vision, and a bridge connecting profound creativity with precision. It's a witness to history, graced by the hands of legends. When you hold a Leica M, you're embracing a legacy. A legacy of emotions, artistry, and compelling stories. Above all M is not just a letter; it's a feeling, an era, and a voice.
In short: A one-of-a-kind Rangefinder Camera System. The Leica M fascinates photographers and enthusiasts all over the world with its Design, Made in Germany Quality and the legendary Leica Brand. From the first camera until today. Because an M is an M and remains an M.

Curated by Venezia Rocco and Giuseppe Oliverio
Text from PhMuseum Lab’s webpage
PhMuseum Lab presents for the first time in Europe the solo exhibition Fumiko, a project by Japanese photographer Sayuri Ichida.
The work stems from the discovery of a biscuits’ tin of metal in the house of the artist's grandparents. The box is full of negatives and prints that portray from childhood to adulthood, the life of Ichida's mother Fumiko, who passed away at the age of 47 from lung cancer. Ichida thus begins a research path through which she investigates the depths of her trauma to stimulate a contemporary debate on concepts such as destiny and memory.
Juxtaposing her family archive with newly made images in response to it, Ichida creates a sophisticated narrative that offers a collective reflection on the difficult process of accepting death. Looking at this work we remember that sooner or later we will all experience some kind of loss, but above all, we rediscover that what matters most is how we keep the positive memory of our loved ones alive.

interview: WE ARE - The RPS Women in Photography Magazine March Issue 2022
Ichida’s self-published artist book Absentee has been reviewed by Callum Beaney on 1000 Words
“Callum Beaney argues that Sayuri Ichida’s medium-centric presentation of negative inversions, repetition and silver ink return readers not to photography as the main subject, but towards a physical body amidst the distress of its representation.”
Absentee has been featured on Firecracker
“Her series ‘Absentee’ is a poetic exploration of existentialism, mortality and a personal response to grief.”
SOURCE MA Graduate Showcase 2021
Ichida’s work has been selected by Emma Jones, a curatorial assistant at Tate Modern for SOURCE MA Graduate Showcase 2021 selections.
Selector's Comment: "Ichida's series is stunning. The way images are spliced, mirrored, and related is perfectly executed. An experimental approach to self-portraiture is revealed here, as the human form goes beyond the aesthetic toward something emotionally felt and existential. Questions of morality and grief are difficult and heavy topics, and it is done here with a confident precision that is evocative rather than explicit. Ichida's approach suggests an intricate knowledge of both form and technique. I look forward to seeing what they do next."
Interview: T JAPAN The New York Times Style Magazine, November Issue 2021
Ichida talks about both her previous and current works, as well as her experience practicing as an Asian female photographer.
This interview series is sponsored by Kering as part of their Women in Motion program founded in 2015 to showcase women's contributions to the world of cinema, photography, literature and the plastic arts.
Solo Exhibition at PhMuseum Lab
Fumiko has been awarded a solo show at PHmuseum Lab. The work was handpicked by PHmuseum's Curator Rocco Venezia and Founder & Director Giuseppe Oliverio among the PHmuseum 2021 Women PhotographersS Grant Submissions. The date will be announced soon.
