KYOTO | Pieter Hugo – “What the Light Falls On” | On view through May 17, 2026 at KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival


PIETER HUGO


We are pleased to share that Pieter Hugo is currently presenting What the Light Falls On at the 14th KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival, on view at Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art, Main Building South Wing 2F through May 17, 2026.

Presented by Stevenson, this major exhibition brings together over 100 photographs created across the past 23 years. Unfolding as a meditation on life, the exhibition traces themes of birth, death, and the rituals in between. Inspired by Helmar Lerski’s reflection that “in every human being there is everything; the question is only what the light falls on,” Hugo’s work forms a powerful and vibrant archive of human presence.
