miho kajioka｜memories of future

Miho Kajioka creates her works based on snapshots. She carries her camera
everywhere and intuitively shoots whatever she finds interesting. She creates her
poetic images through her meticulous darkroom work. Kajioka considers herself
more of a painter than a photographer, but her first collotype portfolio, “memories of
future,” centers around the theme of “Girls” and the ephemeral and mysterious sepia
image emerges as if tracing a memory.

Miho Kajioka

Born in Okayama Prefecture in 1973. After studying fine art at the San Francisco Art
Institute, she studied painting and photography in Montreal, Canada. After returning
to Japan, she got a job as a journalist in Tokyo, and resumed her art activities after
the Great East Japan Earthquake. Currently based in Paris, she exhibits and
publishes her works mainly in Europe. Her book so it goes (2019) won the Nadar
Prize, which is awarded to the best work among her photobooks published in France
throughout the year, becoming the first Japanese to receive the award.
