Atsushi Fukushima (2026 KYOTOGRAPHIE Artist)
After graduating from the Photography Department at Osaka University of Arts, Fukushima spent ten years delivering bentos to the elderly. He built a relationship with many of his clients, eventually photographing them for a body of work titled I Deliver Bento Boxes to the Houses of Old People Living Alone. The following year, a photobook of the same title was published by Seigensha. The project won the KG+SELECT Award 2019, and the following year, he held a photography exhibition as part of
KYOTOGRAPHIE’s main programme. Alongside his agricultural work, he is currently working on new projects that speak to the philosophy of life as both powerful and beautiful. -
