Known for his diverse work in advertising, music and movies. Representative photo books include David Bowie's "Ki", "Speed of Life", "T-REX 1972", "YMO x SUKITA", and Kiyoshiro Imawano's "Soul". Filmed many domestic and foreign musicians, including the jacket of David Bowie's album "Heroes". In recent years, he has held David Bowie photo exhibitions in England, France, Italy, Germany, the United States, Australia, etc., and plans to publish a photo book "BOWIE x KYOTO x SUKITA" in April this year.
The first encounter between a photographer and a rock artist was in London in 1972. Then, the exchange between the two through photographs lasted for more than 40 years until 2016, when Bowie passed away. In particular, the time they spent in Kyoto on March 29, 1980 is said to remain in Sukita's heart.
In this exhibition, Sukita's work, which is a photograph of Bowie spending time in Kyoto, and a new work that Sukita took in Kyoto for this time will be exhibited.
