Kumi Oguro was born in Japan in 1972.

She began studying photography in London in 1996 and continued at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp until 2003.

In addition to photography, she also experimented with video and installation in a postgraduate program, Transmedia in Brussels. Her research theme in the program was the relationship between still and moving images.

This is also the subject of her thesis for the master course in Film Studies and Image Culture at the University of Antwerp in 2006.

Oguro has participated in exhibitions and art/photography fairs in Europe, the USA, Canada and Japan.

She created images for the production of the Flemish Opera.

Her images have been used in programmes for the Opéra national de Paris and the Festival D’Aix-en-Provence, among others, and have become the covers of several novels.

Her first book NOISE was published in 2008 by Le caillou bleu (Brussels).

Her second book HESTER was published by Stockmans Art Books / Bruno Devos (Antwerp) in 2021. This book was shortlisted for the Belfast Photo Festival 2022.

She lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium since 1999.

Beschrijving

In my photographic work, “duality” is often prominent: the peaceful and the eerie, the fragile and the destructive, the playful and the tragic…

In this image, two people show their affection and trust for each other.

The long hair of one of them, which gives them warmth and a sense of unity, could at any moment tighten its snake-like grip and take away the freedom of the other.

The line between the two is so thin.

In relationships, we keep trying to balance on the thin line, doing our best not to fall on the wrong side.
