As society grew richer in the 20th Century, we were increasingly surrounded by objects and we praised consumer culture. Telephones, watches, televisions, camera, CD players, personal computers, phone books, calculator, and flash lights: All of these have been absorbed inside the flat screen of palm-sized devices called tablets in the last ten years. Department stores and banks have similarly swallowed up inside these machines. Is the transformation of photographs into three-dimensionality a reaction to this shift?
In the world of photography, photographs, which had been exposed onto flat printing paper are now taking form and jumping into the real world. Photographs now go back and forth between flatness and depth, between two and three dimensions. How far will the medium expand? Will it evolve further? The ambitious expressions aimed for by experimental photographers contain clues for understanding the role of images in the contemporary period.

Photographic Installation Will Become More Interesting
In recent years, photographic installations, which exceed the conventional hanging of framed prints in walls, have expanded photographic expression. For this story, eight photography specialists have selected installation pieces that represent the trend of photographic works becoming three dimensional through sculptural photographs; in combination with sculptural objects and other non-photographic materials such as documents; and in coexistence with virtual worlds constructed using the latest technology.

MoMA’s “New Photography” exhibition series began in 1985. Since 2009, it has very actively promoted a globalized and otherwise expanded view of photography. This article considers how photographic expression has transformed from the establishment of MoMA’s Photography Department to the latest “New Photography” exhibition.
Toshiko Okanoue
Toshiko Okanoue
Toshiko Okanoue is a mythical collage artist. Discovered in the early 1950s by Shuzo Takiguchi, who introduced Surrealism to Japan, Okanoue produced and exhibited a number of superb collage works. Her career, however, was abruptly suspended and her works were neglected for many years. Today, her works, which we introduce here, are receiving renewed attention.
