About Kumi Oguro
Featured on LensCulture
A wide selection of images from an exhibition focused on 12 female artists illustrates the breadth and power of the work created by women in Japan.
These photos are all inspired to some degree by the language of cinema — the staging of locations, placing bodies in real-life situations, the expressionist use of light, the theatrical play between actors, indications of an off-camera area, effects designed to create tension, veiled references to the logic of genres, and more.
Dream logic and dream images seem to exist outside time, suspended in ambiguous space, with their own hidden meanings — this young Japanese photographer has been exploring the theme of dream images for several years now, always with anonymous female models with long hair and hidden faces.
