Michael Kenna: Constellation
Traverse a galaxy of Michael Kenna's sublime black-and-white landscapes across his 50-year career
Best known for his unusual black-and-white landscapes, British photographer Michael Kenna (born 1953) creates these ethereal images by setting up 10-hour exposures across night and day, creating prolonged concentrations on the ephemeral and atmospheric conditions of the natural world and its interactions with manmade structures. His work has been shown in almost 500 solo exhibitions and more than 400 group exhibitions, and is in more than 100 permanent collections.
Constellation, marking the 50th anniversary of Kenna's career, includes 122 breathtaking images from Kenna's oeuvre of 3,700 photographs captured across 43 countries from 1973 to 2024--each active year and country visited is represented. From this constellation of photographs, the reader is invited to chart their own universe of poetry and beauty away from the tyranny of snapshots.
