I want to share some good news with you. My first museum solo show “Your Gaze Belongs to Me” at Fotografiska New York opens on April 2nd. It is my most extensive show so far, including photo, sculpture and video works in the last 15 years. The show was originally planned for last June, and then the pandemic hit. Now it seems to be a good time to resume our life. I would like to thank my curator Holly Roussell and the fantastic Fotografiska team in Stockholm and New York, Pauline, Jessica, Grace, Wendi, Mindy, Jordan, Yerum, Ashton, Alejandra, Abigail, Margita, Elias, Susanna, Emil, Emelie, and BankerWessel, etc,. so many wonderful people who helped me make this exhibition come true. Thank you!

I'm happy to announce my new online solo show at Chamber Fine Art Gallery "New Wife, Old House" (Yes, we are married, and for a long while ...)
This mini series were taken at Moro's grandma's home last year. In that old house, we found some tankas grandma wrote. One that impressed me most is this one: “My husband is getting used to the mowing machine, the morning sun on his sweaty back”. When I was in that house with Moro, I thought about all those years his grandpa & grandma had lived together in the same house, and we were there as if we were reliving their life.
During this pandemic year, we all learned alot about ourselves, what we really need in our life. Somehow the quiet time we spent together in Moro's hometown is speaking to me.

When answering a question from Plus Magazine, “What does present mean to you?” I try to decipher the word present.
The image is a deconstruction of the word "present". Many words can be divided and make sense. I remember seeing "History" and "His Story" at the subway station in Williamsburg and felt awe every time I see it. When I was thinking about the meaning of "present", I thought about many sentences, but none of them is to the point and conclusive. So I started to separate the word. To my surprise, when I do so, the word "present" is so in line with our current digital age. It became "Pre sent", "Press (Ent)", and "Press End" (this one is of similar pronunciation). It's like the choices you can make when at present. What do you choose to do?

If the world hadn't changed, today I would be in Vancouver having my first Canadian solo show opening at Centre A. I was so looking forward to visiting Canada for the first time and meeting the curator of my show Henry Lu in person. He even planned a mouthwatering welcome lunch for us at a very nice Chinese restaurant.
There's no alternative reality for us now. Luckily, Henry and his team at Centre A finished installing the show right before Canada shuts down. And they made a beautiful online website for this show. My artist talk will be moved online. This is the new normal now for the art world and other industries.
So here is my first virtual exhibition: EXPERIMENTAL RELATIONSHIP (FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, OR MAYBE MINE, TOO), curated by Henry Lu. This exhibition is part of the 2020 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program and supported by a Tricera Print Grant. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Henry, Hana and other Centre A team, Capture Photo Festival, and Tricera Print!
Today is the 3rd week since we self-qurentined. I'm slowly getting used to this new lifestyle. I started to find time to dig into my image archive. I found these two images I made while doing a photoshoot in a sento house in Tokyo, me inspecting myself in the mirror.
I remeber I used to make a new homepage on my very first website almost daily about 20 years ago. It's kinda like a diary. So why not now? I haven't been feeling having so much free time since then.
