Ayano Sudo

Photographer
「愛について アジアン・コンテンポラリー」東京都写真美術館、東京、2018年
Photographer
The desire for transformation and ideal images that transcend the gender of the subject were captured in photographs, and a two-dimensional work that seemed to be between the color manuscript of a girls' manga and the photograph was presented. The actual work is printed on photographic paper with a unique texture, and is further decorated with rhinestones, glitter, etc., and is designed to sparkle under lighting. In 2011, he received the Morimura Yasumasa Award at the Mio Photo Encouragement Award. He vigorously presented his work at domestic and international fairs, and had his first solo exhibition at the 1839 Contemporary Art Gallery (Taipei City) in Taiwan in October of the same year. In 2014, she won the Canon New Century Photography Grand Prix for the series “Phantom Gespenster,” where she dressed up as real missing girls. A collection of works with the same title has been published by HOLOHOLO BOOKS in France. In 2018, she participated in the group exhibition “Asian Contemporary About Love” held at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. As an artist, in addition to exhibiting at domestic and international exhibitions and art fairs, he is also active as a photographer in various magazines, etc.
