“More Than One World – New Japanese Photography 50 Years on” is both a catalogue of the T3 Photography Festival Tokyo 2024 and a multilayered examination of the current state of Japanese photography. Taking as its starting point the 50th anniversary of the 1974 MoMA exhibition “New Japanese Photography,” which by and large introduced contemporary Japanese photography to a world-wide audience and whose legacy still ripples out today, the book presents in-depth illustrated essays and interviews with curators of the T3 2024 program as well as writers, researchers and critics. In four chapters, “More Than One World” reconsiders the historical significance of the 1974 exhibition, sheds light on overlooked perspectives, expands current horizons, and finally wagers a look into possible futures.
