Interview with Ishiuchi Miyako by Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

I stumbled upon this interview with Japanese photographer Ishiuchi Miyako on Jörg M. Colberg’s Twitter feed.

I was not familiar with her work before, but watching this interview, so much of what she said resonated with me, especially when it comes to my photography about Dubai - “I can’t capture the past, but the things in front of me are an extension of the past.”

The interview was recorded in March 2020, Ishiuchi Miyako (b. 1947) talks about her career as a photographer and the following photo series by her:

• Yokosuka Story (1976-77)

• Apartment (1977-78)

• Endless Night (1978-80)

• 1·9·4·7 (1988-89)

• Scars (1991-2017)

• Mother’s (2000-2005)

• 1945 (ひろしま / hiroshima) (2007-2010)
