Yojiro Imasaka “Blue Bayou”
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA art prospects
This event has ended.
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA presents Blue Bayou, the second solo exhibition of Yojiro Imasaka with the gallery.
I’m going back someday,
Come what may, to Blue Bayou,
Where the folks are fine,
And the world is mine…
Imasaka’s new photography series shares its title with a ballad by American songwriter Roy Orbison, also a 1977 hit by Linda Ronstadt, Blue Bayou. Like the song, it captures the nostalgic pull of the geographically and culturally unique wetlands of southern Louisiana. Initially attracted by the mysteries conjured by the word “bayou,” Imasaka ended up spending months there photographing these low-lying deltas at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
