X-SPACE Fujifilm Imaging Space presents “Private Scenes: Masahisa Fukase Photography Exhibition” from April 24 to June 3, 2025. As the most comprehensive personal retrospective of Masahisa Fukase in Asia to date, this exhibition systematically sorts out and displays the important works of the artist’s 40-year creative career, outlining the complete trajectory of the artist’s artistic exploration. It includes the artist’s most famous frustrated work “Crow”, his beloved muse “Yoko”, and series of works such as “Private Scenes”, “Family” and “Game”.
Although Fukase Masahisa is generally considered a radical, experimental artist who constantly challenges the boundaries of photography, he was born into a traditional family that “runs a photo studio as the core and belief of the family.” As a “genius” who “has a lot of good skills” but always causes trouble in the photo studio, he once stood at the crossroads of “becoming a photographer” or “becoming a photographer.” As one of the earliest photographers to practice “private photography,” Fukase Masahisa’s loving eyes and camera lens are always aimed at those around him: his wife and family. He uses humor and sometimes crazy methods to explore the most personal and profound emotions without reservation.
Masahisa Fukase established his unique artistic status in the 1960s. He once stood in the spotlight of the international art stage with Japanese photographers such as Daido Moriyama and Nobuyoshi Araki as artistic partners. However, an unfortunate fall in 1992 caused the artist to suffer severe brain damage and he passed away in 2012. Masahisa Fukase, like a star hanging high in the night sky that suddenly dimmed, has since been forever associated with the gloomy and mysterious “Ravens”.
During these unfortunate twenty years, most of his works were rarely seen by the world. Today, we can appreciate the artist’s creations so completely thanks to the unremitting efforts of Mr. Kosuge Satoshi. Since 2000, he has begun to study Masahisa Fukase by collecting the artist’s magazine submissions. In 2014, he founded the Masahisa Fukase Archive and served as the curator. Over the years, he has conducted in-depth research on the creative background of Masahisa Fukase’s various series of works and the artist’s own mental journey, allowing a large number of archives that have never been shown before to gradually emerge in the public eye.

X-SPACE富士胶片影像空间于2025年4月24日至6月3日呈现“私景：深濑昌久摄影展”。作为深濑昌久迄今为止在亚洲最为全面的个人回顾展，本展览系统性的梳理和展示艺术家历时四十年创作生涯的重要作品，勾勒艺术家艺术探索的完整轨迹。其中包括艺术家最负盛名的失意之作《乌鸦》，挚爱缪斯《洋子》，以及《私景》、《家族》和《游戏》等系列作品。
虽然深濑昌久普遍被认为是激进的、实验性，不断挑战摄影边界的艺术家，他却出生在“以经营照相馆为家族核心和信仰”的传统家庭。作为“一肚子好技术”但总是给照相馆添乱的“天才”，他也曾一度站在“成为照相师傅”还是“成为摄影家”的分叉路口。作为最早实践“私摄影”的摄影家之一，深濑昌久充满爱意的目光以及相机的镜头始终对准他的周围：妻子和家人。他用幽默、有时近乎疯狂方式，毫无保留的探索最私人、最深刻动人的情感。
深濑昌久在上世纪60年代奠定了自己独特的艺术地位，曾和森山大道、荒木经惟等日本摄影师作为艺术伙伴，共同站在国际艺术舞台的聚光灯下。然而，1992年一次不幸的跌倒让艺术家遭受了严重的脑损伤，于2012年离世。深濑昌久，如同夜空高悬的一颗星星骤然暗淡，深濑昌久的名字也自此与阴郁、神秘气质的《乌鸦》永远的联系在一起。
在这不幸的二十年中，他的大部分作品甚少为世人所见。今天，我们能够如此完整地欣赏到艺术家的创作，得益于小菅智先生的不懈努力。自2000年起，他开始通过收集艺术家的杂志投稿对深濑昌久进行研究。2014年，他创办了深濑昌久档案馆并担任馆长。多年来，他深入研究深濑昌久各个系列作品的创作背景和艺术家本人的心路历程，让大量以前从未展示过的档案逐渐浮现于公众视野。
