Ken Ohara's collection showcases seven projects spanning from 1970 to 2003, emphasizing innovative portrait studies. After moving from Tokyo to New York in 1962, Ohara gained recognition with his book "One," featuring over 500 face close-ups. This diverse compilation includes radical face close-ups, rarely-seen or MoMA-exhibited works, and unique portraits, such as a self-portrait made from hourly photos over 24 hours, a journal of 365 daily images on an accordion fold, and portraits with over-hour-long exposures. Ohara's work explores the boundaries of time and space in photography, prompting a reevaluation of portraiture limits.
