Highlighted Artist

Born 27th March Sakaimachi, (now known as Sakaiminato City), Shoji Ueda was the third and only surviving child of four children. Born and raised in Tottori prefecture, Ueda's photographic works are both playful and meticulous constructions which depict an array of surreal and dreamlike landcapes shot against the backdrop of Tottori Sand Dunes.

A master photographer, Shoji Ueda's works are beautiful and elaborate realizations of a worldview, which remained unique and stood apart amongst the iconic developments of 1960s Japan, such as the politically radical Provoke movement.

Shoji Ueda’s An Album: The Everlasting Story is a photobook created using negatives found by his family after his death. Taken in between 1935-1950, the photographs within this publication feature a series of images which focus on his wife of whom he married when she was 19 years of age. Here the images unfold a narrative of an enduring love, both mesmerising and distinct to Ueda’s life’s work.
