Takashi Homma
Tokyo, 1962. Lives and works in Tokyo.
Takashi Homma is one of the most well-known and celebrated Japanese photographers. After working in London as a commercial photographer for several major international magazines, since the 1990s he has increasingly focused on territorial analysis—first in Japan and then worldwide—as well as on examining the photographic language itself. He has been the subject of major retrospective exhibitions at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa and the Tokyo City Opera Art Gallery. In 2014, he began the project The Narcissistic City, published in April 2016 by MACK Books, focusing on the analysis of the most representative and iconic buildings of numerous cities. The exhibition at Viasaterna, The Narcissistic City. Milan and Other Stories, marked his first solo show in Italy and exclusively presented a new series of works dedicated to the city of Milan, created in January 2017. In 2019, he published Symphony – Mushrooms from the Forest with Case Publishing. In 2021, he held an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, entirely dedicated to the study of windows in the architecture of Le Corbusier, accompanied by a publication by Walther König titled Looking Through Le Corbusier Windows. In October 2023, he opened a solo exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, titled Revolution 9.
