Since 1972, when he first visited the Sahara Desert, Kazuyoshi NOMACHI (1946–) has been photographing diverse, mostly harsh environments and the people who find sustenance for their deep religious faith there. As the world grows more politically unstable, yet also more standardized, with cell phones everywhere, the world that Nomachi has recorded in his five decades of travel is rapidly disappearing. Now, more than ever, his work provides priceless documentation of the relationships between human beings and the land they live on. This retrospective focuses on the major works of a photographer who calls himself a “wasteland maniac.”
