AboutAbout the lab
Reading images in photography and contemporary art through otherness and temporality
Associate Professor Madoka Yuki studies the history and theory of photography, image studies, and visual culture studies.
The professor lists otherness, global art, representations of death, and temporality as research themes.
Using the Kyushu University Museum as a case, the lab also works on theoretical research and exhibition practice concerning exhibitions from an art perspective (art intervention).
The professor teaches courses and supervises graduation, master's, and doctoral research in the Future Vision Design Course of the School of Design and the Future Symbiotic Design Course of the Graduate School of Design.
