A same-sex couple and their child form a new portrait of the family
The photographer Eiki Mori has investigated the line between the personal and the public in such work as “intimacy” (2014), a photo-book that used his own lovers and friends as models. The subject of this new work is developed from his series “Wedding Politics” (2013‚Äì16), featuring photographs of same-sex couples on the streets of the city. Mori will now zoom in further on today‚Äôs concepts of “family” by ostensibly starting his own with another man, a scenario that will be explored through a short film, talk, and exhibits showing the film being made.
