Catalogue of the exhibition Silver haikus - Asia photographed by Michael Kenna, presented at the musée Guimet, Paris (From 11 June to 29 September 2025).

A theme-based retrospective of Michael Kenna's work in Asia, Silver Haikus brings out the extent of these Asian influences through a formal and aesthetic dialogue between a selection of his silver-print photographs created over the last forty years and works from the collections of the Guimet.

His work is permeated with references to East Asian art, ranging from traditional ink painting to the well-known poetic form of the Japanese haiku. Through the evocative power of black-and-white photography, the celebration of the void, and the simplicity of form, Michael Kenna substitutes the ink of poems with the silver tones of his images, offering the viewer a truly contemplative experience.
