Rika Noguchi Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1971 -

Rika Noguchi (Noguchi Rika, born 1971 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese photographic artist who lives and works in Berlin.

Noguchi's work often deals with the limits of human ability and ambition. Her series "New Land" (1999-2000) documented the construction of artificial islands off the coast of the Netherlands. Her series "Rocket Hill" (begun in 2001) recorded the facilities and launch pad of Japan's Tanegashima Space Center. Her "Sun" series (begun in 2005) shot the sun using a pinhole camera, emphasizing a very Earth-bound perception of the solar body.
