is a Japanese photographer and performance artist, who was born in 1960 in Fukuoka, Japan. He now lives and works in New York.
Hirakawa's photographs are described as having "a heavy sexual connotation"[1] and "erotic and intimate".[2] Stating that "the sexual revolution is over and the Puritans won", Hirakawa's work challenges mainstream conceptions of sexuality, and the assumption that expressions of male heterosexual desire are oppressive and objectifying.1 His architectural photographs, unusually featuring prominent models, challenge the viewer to consider the meaning of architecture on modern urban life.[3] In 2005, a site-specific performance entitled ''In Search of a Purple Heart'', utilising fragments of interviews from Vietnam War veterans quoted by partially nude performers, was described as an "intense compilation of atmospheres" whose author was "intent on infecting the seductive surfaces that dominate our culture [...] with the rot of our culture’s collective guilt."[4]
Noritoshi Hirakawa has exhibited his work in a variety of galleries, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, the Pompidou Centre, Paris, multiple galleries in New York, Kunsthalle Vienna, the Art & Public Contemporary Art Gallery, Geneva, the Gallerie Ferdinand van Dieten in Amsterdam, and in Köln. He was invited to present his work at the SMAK, Ghent in Belgium during the group-exhibition “Casino 2001†and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt included the work “Tokyo Dreams†in its permanent collection.[5][6]
