SOKOHI - Moe Suzuki
As her father gradually lost his sight due to glaucoma, artist Moe Suzuki began documenting their daily life together. The images created in this way are interwoven with family photographs and photographs taken by her father himself. Through this rich body of work, Moe Suzuki attempts to show what sighted people can see but her father cannot, and to imagine what her father sees but others do not.
Moe Suzuki was born in Tokyo and studied photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. After returning to Tokyo following the 2011 earthquake, Moe Suzuki taught herself bookbinding. She then began a career as a visual artist, focusing on photography, which she combines with archival images and illustrations. Her work primarily explores themes such as community life, people with disabilities, and spirituality.
This book is the winner of the 7th edition of the LUMA Rencontres Dummy Book Award Arles 2021. Its publication was made possible by the support of the award’s founders: Les Rencontres d’Arles & LUMA Foundation.
