Born in the port city of Osaka in 1951, Morimura
grew up in the unfashionable heartland of Japan.
The economic hub of the Kansai region of Japan,
Osaka lacks the illustrious history of nearby Kyoto
or the cosmopolitanism of neighboring Kobe. Des-

the most provocative and cosmopolitan photogra-
phers of the late twentieth century. He is best
known for taking photographs which copy icons
of western culture but include his own face or
body in the place of the central character. This is
especially disconcerting for the viewing audience, as
the characters he replaces are often women such as
Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, and the Mona Lisa.
Brought to prominence by having his pictures
displayed at the 1988 Venice Biennale and by the
inclusion of his work in several touring shows of
Japanese photographers in the late 1980s, he sealedMORATH, INGE
