What's not to like? - Seiichi Furuya - Mémoires

To say why we like it would take too long. So here it is. In bullet points.
- the final chapter of Seiichi Furuya's Mémoires, haunting memorial to the artist's late wife
- Christine and Komyo, earlier, happier times; unsentimental, intimate and at times intrusive images documenting her hopeless descent into deepening depression
- Gravitation - apocalyptic; blindfolded cow waiting for slaughter; Dachau; concrete wall pock-marked with bullets
- carefully curated, straightforward installation
Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography 15 May - 19 July 2010
