外侨之窗
为促进重庆与日本的民间文化交流,4月22日,由重庆市人民对外友好协会、日本国际交流基金以及日本驻重庆总领事馆主办的“日本的现代写真1970年代起至今——投向同一时代的目光”展览会在四川美术学院举办。镜头下的日本首次登陆重庆。
该展览是日本国际交流基金会策划的一个世界巡回展,选定了日本具有代表性的23位摄影家的共76幅作品,主要展示了上个世纪60年代末到70年代初日本的社会、都市以及风景,记录了日本从经济高速成长末期到世纪转变期不同的侧面。
“1960年代是日本飞速发展的起点阶段,也是延续至今的日本现代摄影的起点,那个时期日本举办了奥运会,新干线列车也通车了,所以此次展览的作品时间也从那时开始,一直持续到2000年。”日本驻重庆总领事光冈英行告诉记者,展览分“改变的社会”和“改变的风景”两部分,分别用镜头下的人和风景,表现日本社会的改变。
“今年以来,西南地区与日本交流的机会在缓慢增加。”光冈英行称,将以这次摄影展为契机,努力在2014年实施各种各样的文化活动,以进一步增进日中两国的相互理解和相互信赖。他表示,日领馆将继续举办此类活动以推进双方的文化交流。

据介绍,这次推介的11个项目涉及矿产能源、电力开发、基础设施建设等领域。如中部的矾土开采冶炼、东加里曼丹岛的高速公路、雅加达的城区铁路和巴厘岛的供水项目,都具有较强的投资回报空间。
