May 7 – January 08, 2023
Visionary Japanese media artist Masaki Fujihata’s BeHere / 1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration invites visitors to experience the photographic archive of the 1942 forced removal of Japanese Americans in new ways. Beginning with little-known photographs by Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee, the exhibition culminates in two groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) installations, one in the museum and one in the plaza outside.

Knowing that Russell Lee used a 50 mm lens with his 35 mm Contax camera allowed three-dimensional modeler Yasutaka Fukuda to pinpoint the photographer’s position.
