The concept of the small format photograph series refers to a Japanese tradition. The Japanese often keep mementos in small boxes which they frequently rearrange. Psychoanalysts in Japan also utilise this method by having their patients arrange a set of objects in order to draw conclusions about their health and well-being.
Reiko Imoto wishes to achieve the same with her photographs. On the one hand, her perspectives have been chosen wilfully and radically subjectively. On the other hand, she wants her images to trigger thoughts unconsciously so that everyone is confronted with his/her own memories and recollections. The artist currently lives in Brussels. Her work has already been exhibited around the world.
