"Mothers 2000-2005: The Imprint of the Future" is a photo collection by Ishiuchi Miyako, a female photographer who Japan is proud of around the world. Following in the footsteps of artists who led the postwar Japanese photography world, such as Tomatsu Shomei and Moriyama Daido, Ishiuchi's early trilogy "Yokosuka Story," "Apartment," and "The City of Nights" are known as masterpieces that have made their mark in the history of Japanese photography. Since the 1990s, she has also been actively working on creating close-ups of the "body" that imprints "time" and "memory," and her famous works include "1, 9, 4, 7," "Hiromi 1955," "1906 to the Skin," and "Scars." This book is the official catalog of the Japan Pavilion for "Mothers," which was exhibited as Japan's representative work at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005, and is a photo collection published to commemorate the exhibition. As her mother, with whom she had a deep estrangement, faces death, she confronts the "objects" she left behind, depicting and photographing close-ups of her "body." This is a private documentary that carefully records the memories of her "mother," who overcame the unimaginable sadness of the process and was an independent woman. Some of the works from the early trilogy are also included.
