Doppelopment
Introduction
From March 11, 2017, POETIC SCAPE will hold the 4th Hiroshi Nomura solo exhibition [Doppelopment]. Doppelopment is a coined word made by Nomura from the German word “Doppelgänger” which is “a type of hallucination for seeing yourself on your own” and the English word “Development” in photography.
Hiroshi Nomura, who has mentioned about ambiguous boundaries between reality and unreality in the past works such as “Slash”, “EXDORA,RA,RA,RA,RA…” and “Invisible Ink”, this time he, a dizygotic twin, installed his own daughter as a subject for the latest work. We will also release a new photo book of the same name at the venue. We look forward to seeing you.

Completed a graduate degree in oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts in 1995. Since his student years, he has continued to present works that cross media, with photography at the core of his practice.
In 2018, he published CAMERAer, a comic book exploring “theory of photography” through stories about photographs and cameras.
The 2019 exhibition “A Dark but Bright Room of CAMERAer” (Yokohama Civic Art Gallery Azamino), curated with Nomura as guest curator and featuring the Yokohama City collection of cameras and photographs, drew wide attention and subsequently traveled to the A4 Art Museum in Chengdu, China, later that year.
Major solo exhibitions include “THE GENESIS OF THE EXDORA WORLD” (Taka Ishii Gallery, Tokyo, 1997), “Landmark Products Exhibition” (LOGOS GALLERY, Tokyo, 2008), and “Merandi” (POETIC SCAPE, Tokyo, 2020).
International exhibitions include PHOTOESPAÑA 2012 Asia Serendipity (Spain, 2012) and Belfast Photo Festival (Northern Ireland, 2019), among many others.
Notable publications include EYES (Akakasha, 2007) and Slash (N/T WORKS, 2010).
Awards include the 3rd (1992) and 5th (1993) New Cosmos of Photography Excellence Awards (Canon), and the 31st Society of Photography Award (2019).
