soundlyawake:golden-zephyr:apihtawikosisan:5centsapound:Chino Otsuka : Imagine Finding Me Chino Otsuka uses photography and video to explore the fluid relationship between the memory, time and photography. At age 10 she moved from Japan to the United Kingdom to attend school. Her experience of becoming familiar with a new place, a different language and new customs while she was developing her adolescent identity has profoundly shaped her work in photography, video and writing.
