Summary:

"Fully documenting Koki Tanaka's latest project 'Vulnerable Histories (A Road Movie)' (2018) conceived on the occasion of his exhibition at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, this publication focuses on a pressing issue from the artist's native country--the mutual incomprehension and mistrust between Zainichi Koreans and ethnic Japanese--to plead for vigilance when it comes to racism and discrimination. Reacting to the urgent problems facing global society such as immigration, xenophobia, and nationalism, the project centers on a series of conversations in various settings between two protagonists--the Zainichi Korean Woohi Chung and the Swiss of Japanese descent Christian Hofer--who have not met before. The artist's camera follows them traveling to several locations in Tokyo to grapple with questions about (their own cultural) identity and how to take a stand against the simplistic and selective worldviews of racist groups"--Publisher's website.
