Yuichi Hibi

Born in Nagoya, Japan in 1964, Yuichi Hibi moved in 1987 to New York City to pursue an acting career. What he found instead was the isolating and bleak feel of the busy city at night, and he began to take black and white photographs emphasizing the overlooked beauty and placidity in New York's various niches. Hibi has exhibited at the International Center of Photography in New York, Paris Photo in Paris, Arts Labor Gallery in Shanghai, and he has an impressive bibliography of published works.
