'This city was not real, but created by my photography', says Miyako Ishiuchi. The artist's work offers a radical vision of post-Hiroshima Japan, focusing on the alienation and disaffection characterising urban life.
In 'Yokosuka Story' 1977, Ishiuchi photographs the small port town where she grew up, the site of a US naval base, now seemingly falling into dereliction. In doing so she captures social conditions in a country haunted by the memories of the Second World War.
