Masumi Hayashi
MASUMI HAYASHI
PANORAMIC PHOTO COLLAGES 1976 - 2006 For two decades, Masumi Hayashi used art to awaken people gently but insistently to societal ills. Her photo collages applied photography's most seductive traits -- believability and formal beauty -- to explore disturbing subjects including deserted Rust Belt landscapes, decaying abandoned prisons, EPA Superfund sites, and desolate ruins of the relocation camps where Japanese Americans were interned during World War II. Hayashi meant these photographs "to be appreciated for their beauty on one level yet, on another, to create irony and tension." During the final decade of her life, she began exploring a new type of subject matter, the sacred sites of Asia, which would raise her work to a spiritual, healing plane. Hayashi's choice of subject matter always arose from personal concerns. "Art is my life and when I have something to say, all that I'm interested in comes through in my art," said the artist. Even though her art took on an overtly autobiographical focus only twice... Hayashi was keenly aware that her outlook was that of a woman, a Japanese American, and a Buddhist in a largely white, male dominated land.
Hayashi expressed those tensions and that sense of difference through technique as well as choice of subject matter. Hayashi's signature medium, the panoramic photo collage, transcends the instantancity of photography. A still photograph captures one moment from one point of view. Each of her collages fragments space by combining around one hundred still photos into a single, unified picture that is both image and object, large-scale but also highly detailed.
Wherever she planted herself and her tripod became the central point to which everything in the picture was related. At the same time, she rejected the authority implicit in a single slice of space and time; her vision required a multiplicity of moments and angles. Through technique and subject matter, Hayashi's art points out that perspective is relative: that our understanding of a place depends literally and figuratively on our point of view.

from MasumiLegacyProject
Masumi Hayashi was born in 1945 in the Gila River War Relocation Camp in Rivers, Arizona, one of the United States government's War Relocation Authority camps, where Japanese-Americans were placed in internment during World War II. The Gila River camp was in the Gila River Indian Reservation.
Hayashi grew up in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California and graduated from Jordan High School. As an adolescent, she worked at her parents’ store, Village Market, on Compton Avenue. She attended UCLA and later went on to attend Florida State University in Tallahassee, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1975 and Master of Fine Arts degree in 1977. Hayashi joined the faculty of Cleveland State University as Assistant Professor of Photography in 1982, and became a full professor in 1996. During her tenure at CSU, she received numerous awards, including an Arts Midwest, NEA fellowship in 1987, a Civil Liberties Educational Fund research fellowship in 1997, a Fulbright Grant in 2003, and Individual Artist Fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council on three different occasions. She was awarded the Cleveland Arts Prize for Visual Arts in 1994. Masumi Hayashi is perhaps best known for creating striking panoramic photocollages, using smaller color photographs (typically 4-by-6-inch prints) like tiles in a mosaic. Many of these large panoramic pieces involve more than one hundred smaller photographic prints; the rotational scope of the assembled collage can be 360 degrees or even 540 degrees. Much of her work explores socially uncomfortable spaces, including prisons, relocation camps, and Superfund cleanup sites. Later in her career, her artwork reflected a deep interest in sacred sites; and she traveled several times to India and other places in Asia to photograph spiritually significant spaces. Masumi and I were friends and colleagues in the last two years that I was in Cleveland before moving to NYC in 1984. She had become a professor at Cleveland State University in 1982, and I was intrigued by her work. It is certainly an honor to be asked to sequence and curate this current exhibition at the Tregoning Gallery. Special thanks go to her son, Dean Keesey, to Barbara Tannenbaum, to Michael Gentile and to Bill Tregoning ~ Abe Frajndlich Collections Public Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California Victoria and Albert Art Museum, London, England Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo, Japan Princeton Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey.
