Store Gallery for September and October 2023: Kisara Okada
Project Statement
I have been taking street photographs for 17 years under the theme "Wonderful Sites Overlooked by the City".
It is not uncommon to encounter everyday events that cannot be called incidents or accidents. But we tend to forget them quickly. In order not to miss anything, I am always on the move with my camera. It is as if the camera is the main body and I am an accessory. I have over 1.25 million photos stored on an external hard drive.
This is my second exhibition at Pro Photo Supply Gallery, the first being in 2016. Seven years later, my reasons for doing street photography remain the same. I want to continue to photograph the extraordinary things I find in the city that can only be seen at the moment so that people can enjoy them.
Finally, thank you to everyone who came to this exhibit and to the gallery staff for this wonderful opportunity, to Juliana, and to Jim, who has always given so much support.
