In 2001, he participated in the "Fast and Slow" exhibition at the Japanese Pavilion for the Venice Biennale. He received the Japanese Ministry of Education Award for his exhibition "Natural Stories" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in 2011, an exhibition subsequently presented at the Huis Marseille Museum in Amsterdam and then in 2012 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Several of his books have been published in France by Light Motiv: Terrils, Kesengawa, Rikuzentakata and by Textuel: La houillère de Westphalie.

Moderator: Thibault Honoré (Lecturer in Visual Arts at the University of Western Brittany. Visual artist)

Since 2019, Thibault Honoré has been conducting research on the notions of disaster, crisis, and adaptation, exploring their creative occurrences as a duo with Justine Maljak. From 2025, they are initiating the TEITEN project, bringing together French and Japanese artists and researchers around the processes of memorializing natural disasters in Japan. This collective project will lead to various exhibitions presented in France and Japan in 2027 and 2028.
