In this collection of black and white photographs made in Japan between 1991 and 2000, photographer Selina Kudo’s lens becomes a tool for personal exploration of place, identity and displacement. Fleeting scenes of intimate and domestic life are interwoven with anonymous street scenes to create a raw and ambiguous narrative that explores the concept of belonging.
‘Through each frame, I embarked on a journey to find something elusive, the nature of which I could not articulate at the time. This book encapsulates moments of subtle introspection and fleeting connections that were made while living in Japan. The images echo a quest for both self-discovery and a sense of belonging within the intricate tapestry of Japan’s everyday life.’ – Selina Kudo.
