Commissioned
by
the
Haggerty
Museum
of
Art
at
Marquette
University
to
create
an
artwork
reflecting
on
the
importance
of
freshwater,
Milwaukee-based
photographer
Kevin
J.
Miyazaki
embarked
on
a
two-week,
1,800-mile
drive
around
Lake
Michigan.
He
traveled
its
perimeter,
through
Wisconsin,
Illinois,
Indiana,
and
Michigan,
to
produce
what
he
calls
“a
contemporary
portrait
of
Lake
Michigan.”
Miyazaki
set
up
his
portable
studio
on
beaches,
in
parks,
on
boat
docks,
and
in
backyards,
photographing
those
he
met
along
the
way.
From
residents,
environmental
scientists,
and
artists
to
a
Native
American
water
rights
advocate,
surfers,
and
commercial
fishermen,
Lake
Michigan
holds
a
powerful
place
in
the
life
of
each.
Many
shared
their
thoughts
with
him
on
why
this
body
of
water
is
important
to
all.
Miyazaki also photographed the water as he went, creating waterscapes of the ever-changing lake affected by weather and time. Perimeter gathers these images together, creating a diverse portrait of both people and a place, encapsulating Lake Michigan’s significance to those who are drawn to it.

Recenzii
Perimeteris
“a
wonderfully
perceptive
interrogation
of
landscape,
portraiture,
cartography,
and
place.”
(Mary Louise Schumacher, art and architecture critic, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
This book has few words, but much reading. We read the faces and outfits, tools and toys but mostly we read the Lake: The Lake that is beautiful and powerful, living and life giving. “Perimeter” is a book to peruse and ponder. Keep it where you can find it when you need something to lift your spirits. Don’t be selfish. Leave it where your guests can find it and share this treasure. (Jim Gallen, Reviewer)
Miyazaki's Perimeter is as brilliant for its images as for its concept...The photos recall Richard Avedon's exhibit In The American West, but without the grit and grimace. Miyazaki finds his subjects in warmer moods, even if some appear to be shivering after bounding out of the chilly, glistening waters.(Marc Tasman, Insider Reviews, Milwaukee Magazine)
