Miwa Yanagis surreal photographs borrow on diverse elements ranging from film noir to fairy tales, such as those of the Brothers Grimm. The collection here tells a variety of visual tales which reflect on themes such as age, beauty, and mythology, depicted through the actions of a young and a old woman. Elegantly presented and bound in an embossed cover, the photographs come accompanied by an interview with the photographer herself.
Horror/beauty hybrids. In the last week or so that I've had to process (go through) Miwa Yanagi's body of work I've developed a deepening appreciation for her wonderful, weird images.
