Fumiko Imano
Highly acclaimed for her collaborations within fashion, such as her work for Loewe’s seasonal publication since the brand’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection, Imano’s representative work includes a body of unprecedented photomontages. A series of self-portraits taken with a 35mm camera, these images are then cut and pasted to create a twin-like motif. Encapsulating an innocently nostalgic and humorous charm that is reminiscent of photographs that might have been taken during a family trip, imano’s self-portraits elicit an instinctive smile from their viewers. In sharp contrast, the distinct lines which have been cut and joined together by scissors evidently convey the reality of a fictitious nature. Simply created by hand in the current digital age, imano’s photomontages invite a playful yet fresh insight into one’s identity, and an unconventional visual language to convey new stories.
A synthesis of images from the various places visited overseas since 2016, and works that were taken nearby the artist’s home throughout this past year, this exhibition will showcase approximately 30 works from these varying times. Rarely shown to the public until now, this show will also feature a selection of monochromatic works which have been carefully sewn together with red thread.
