Photograper and moving images maker Kumi Oguro (1972, Japan) works and lives in Antwerp, Belgium. With her enigmatic photos of faceless females in unusual poses, she has caught our eye. Hey long haired, anonymous beauties, seem to be far away or in agony. Kumi Oguro’s photos breath serenity and an unconscious dreamy state of mind. The scenery is bizarre, sinister, sometimes bloody, but you will definitely keep on looking. And looking…and looking…and looking. Kumi Oguro’s first publication ‘Noise’ has become a hot cult book in Japan.
