WONDERLAND1980-1989    Mitsugu Ohnishi

While much of Tokyo in the 1980s was caught up in the lurid financial excess of the Bubble Economy, Mitsugu Ohnishi created a very peculiar set of images of the people and life of the eastern locally downtown parts of the capital.  Ohnishi's subjects are utterly and charmingly human. His own photographic eye is never critical nor judgmental of the people or their actions but rather delights in the oddities which arise when very real people partake in manufactured events and tradition.  His Wonderland is therefore not simply a physical place but instead a moment deftly captured- a slice of time where the stitches of our reality can be seen, accepted, and even loved.
