amanasalto is releasing the artist's first platinum and palladium print series, namely INTERIORS, which includes 9 works carefully selected by Ishiuchi herself: Used sofa photographed in Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston; interiors of the abandoned nightclub for US soldiers in Yokosuka and the Bayside Court US military housing complex in Yokohama from her Club & Courts series; as well as her works from YOKOSUKA Again series.

Although the dark, humid interior spaces Ishiuchi captured have been abandoned for a long time, the presence, body warmth, pathos and emotions of people who have been there strongly remain. Indeed, the term INTERIORS may not only refer to the interior spaces and furniture but also our inner selves. Ishiuchi has been gathering and weaving threads of memories frozen deep in time, in the same way she faces the body scars of different people and the personal belongings of her mother, as well as those of the victims killed by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

Such beautiful and delicate texture woven in Ishiuchi's photographs are detailedly portrayed by the rich tonality of platinum and palladium prints, enabling viewers to feel as if they are touching the memories.
