miho kajioka

memories of future

Miho Kajioka (b.1973) 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 painterthan a photographer, but her first collotype portfolio, memories of
future, centers around the theme of "Girls" and the ephemeral andmysterious sepia image emerges as if tracing a memory.

Chieko Shiraishi

SHIMAKAGE

Chieko Shiraishi’s (b.1968) SHIMAKAGE is literally translated as 'Island
Shadow' and this work brings together varying images taken fromJapan’s surrounding islands and coastal areas. These images are an
old retouching technique known as 'zōkin-gake' which was previously
popular amongst amateur photographers in Japan during the 1920s
and 30s. As a result, the images beautifully evoke a faded memory,the landscapes appear and disappear within the image from thephotographers own memory, standing as faint silhouettes against the
backdrop of an obscured memory.

Selected Works

Shigeo Gochō (1946–1983) suffered from caries of the thoracic vertebrae
as a child, which stopped him from growing and left him with a physicalhandicap that caused his back to bend. Gochō studied photography

He died in 1983 at the age of 36. Oneof the main features of Gochō’s work is that there are many snapshotsof children. Keeping children as its main feature, this portfolio is the first

Robert Doisneau

Selected Works

Robert Doisneau (1922– 1994) is one of France’s most noted
photographers. During his long career, his poetic approach to street
photography recorded French everyday life in often playful and surreal
images. Always charmed by his subjects, he enjoyed finding amusing
juxtapositions or oddities of human nature. He photographed a vastspan of people and events, often juxtaposing conformist and maverick
elements in images marked by an exquisite sense of humour, by antiestablishment values, and, above all, by his deeply felt humanism. –ICP

contains 10 photographic collotype prints, of which each

Bastiaan Woudt (b.1987) has collected ten of his mostimpressive nude images that he has shot over the past
years, the nude being a particular favourite subject of
Woudt. Together with Kahmann Gallery (Amsterdam)
this special portfolio adds a new dimension to his workemphasising the way Woudt approaches the human bodyin an almost abstract way, focusing on details, juxtaposing
shapes with the background or, alternately, letting themalmost completely blend in with it.
