"Borrowed Place, Borrowed Time" is an exhibition catalogue by Japanese photographer Keizo Kitajima. Compiled to accompany the exhibition of the same name, held at the Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art in 2025, this volume repositions the concepts of "place" and "time" that the Nagano-born artist has engaged with for half a century from an institutional perspective. It traces Kitajima's work, beginning with his urban snapshots in the 1970s, and expanding into New York and the former Soviet Union, as well as his fixed-point, contemplative series from the 1990s onward, with new prints and documents. The title alludes to the fact that photography is always established as a provisional relationship, visualizing the tension that arises between photographer and subject, between place and gaze. Rereading this work in the context of an art museum in his hometown of Nagano, Kitajima's work transcends personal history and quietly reexamines how the medium of photography has interacted with the times. This 360-page work is a monumental work.
