LANGUAGE MATTERS

There is no universal agreement on what we call the camps or the process that created them -- ‘incarceration,’ ‘internment,’ and ‘concentration’ are a few of the terms that were interchangeably used. While some might find ‘concentration’ misleading because these were not extermination camps, the term predates the Holocaust and is by definition a place where large numbers of people are detained or confined under armed guard. We believe that awareness of the historical import of these words, as well as care in using them, is an important way to respect the collective memory of the victims and grants us greater power to confront injustice and cultivate peace.

Through her use of vivid color and larger-than-life scale, Ishiuchi seeks to establish and expand the contemporary viewer’s connec- tion to the personal lives and experiences of the victims of the bombing. Testaments to a profound trauma, her images at once illuminate the beauty and complexity of individual lives, and the weight of collective history.

Notably, many of the objects she selects to photograph were owned or worn by women. Ishiuchi emphasizes this point in the intentionality of the spelling of the series title, ひろし / hiroshima, in which Japanese hiragana characters spell out ま the name of the city, which is reflected in lower case Roman script. The hiragana writing syllabary was first popular- ized by court women during the Heian Period (794-1185) for composing personal communications, diaries, and literature, eventually becoming known as “women’s hand,” or onna-de ( .
