About
Malaysia and Japan have built a precious friendship for over many years. In 2013, the Two Mountains Photography Project was started to deepen this mutual understanding through the power of photography and culture. Centred on the commissioning of 6 documentary and art photographers to present photo-stories of these peaks in their home nations, the project culminated in an exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, and a presentation in Japan and was successfully received in 2014.
In 2017, we announced the second phase of the Two Mountains Photography Project, continuing our original vision by recognising cross-cultural processes, via photography. This second phase enabled selected photographers from each nation to travel to the other, and make their personal visual stories centred on the respective peaks. The indigenous people of each nation respect these peaks as cultural icons and spiritual symbols by recognition of their unique status, with long traditions and practices embedded in the national psyche.
Through the efforts of research combined with the artists’ personal photographic styles and backgrounds, the Two Mountains Photo Project will enable the realisation of projects with new visions and stories.
It is with great excitement that we open the Two Mountains 4.0 public exhibition in the city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, home to one of the iconic peaks in Asia.
