Memories of Future
Published by Benrido, 2023
Portfolio of 6 collotypes, black and white
Miho Kajioka creates her works based on snapshots. She carries her camera everywhere and intuitively shoots whatever she finds interesting. She creates her poetic images through her meticulous darkroom work. Kajioka considers herself more of a painter than a photographer, but her first collotype portfolio, “memories of future,” centers around the theme of “Girls” and the ephemeral and mysterious sepia image emerges as if tracing a memory. Miho Kajioka Born in Okayama Prefecture in 1973. After studying fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute, she studied painting and photography in Montreal, Canada. After returning to Japan, she got a job as a journalist in Tokyo, and resumed her art activities after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Currently based in Paris, she exhibits and publishes her works mainly in Europe. Her book So it goes (2019) won the Nadar Prize, which is awarded to the best work among her photo books published in France throughout the year, becoming the first Japanese to receive the award.

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
Published by the(M) éditions & IBASHO, 2023
This new book is a revised and expanded edition of so it goes, so it goes, itself a revised and expanded edition of the 2019 Nadar Prize-winning book so it goes. This edition has a new cover, an almost entirely new series of images, and reveals some of the artist's color images. In this book, Miho Kajioka presents work relating to the concepts of time, memory and place. As in her previous works, the series reveals intuitive images of fragments of her daily life at different times. Miho Kajioka first became interested in this subject when she read Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-five . Miho Kajioka is fascinated by chronology and the meaning of events. In her view, photography captures moments and freezes them; displaying impressions is like playing with the sense of time and getting lost in this chronology.
