is his first solo exhibition in the United States. He comments on the relationship between humans and nature, usually without any people in the frame. Hatakeyama is a visual poet of destruction and has a series of photos capturing the force of explosions in a quarry ("24 Blasts"). The most devastating part of the exhibit (both physically and emotionally) is the installation showing his hometown in northeastern Japan before and after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The earlier scenes show the townspeople engaged in festivals and ordinary daily activities. Afterward, buildings are left as rubble. The artist lost friends and relatives in the disaster, and it's hard not to be moved by the record of the tragedy.
