Special Exhibition 1 《Rinko KAWAUCHI M/E》
Dates: September 18 – November 16, 2025
Venue: Daegu Arts Center, Hall 11
Curator: Emmanuelle de l’Ecotais

As part of its 2025 theme, Life, the Daegu Photo Biennale presents renowned Japanese photographer Rinko KAWAUCHI as a featured artist.
Known for her soft, luminous color palette, KAWAUCHI has, since the beginning of her career, captured the mysteries and brilliance of life—its fragility and resilience—through a deeply poetic lens. Her gaze moves from delicate, everyday subjects such as flowers, animals, and family to the vast temporal forces of nature, including volcanoes and glaciers. This sensitivity, which connects all her subjects through a unifying sense of vitality, is the core of her photographic world.
