This season Space 13 of Miro Foundation pays attention to contemporary Japanese art.
From September and to the next month of July
are programmed four exhibitions of young artists
often linked with the underground culture
of the sunrise country.
Actually can be visited, can be seen
"Identities" a curious photographic exhibition
from Tomoko Sawada where we found a curious public.
People from Miro Foundation are gratefully surprised
of the public answer to "Kawaii, Japan now"
specially in the young public.
We are talking, logically, about a generation that had grown up reading manga.
Some of that girls are from Barcelona
but other have come from Bilbao
they are: Lolitas.
The exhibition that Candy and company have come to see
takes us to the Japanese origin of this young culture
Tomoko Sawasa place herself in front of the camera
dressed up like the spectacular lolitas from Osaka and Tokio
that previously she has photographed.
She look at the actual Japanese society, look at these groups
and is like she make them hers.
she tries it on herself to see what conclusions can she get.
Tomoko Sawaba is, more a "self-portraiter" than a photographer.
While studying art she started to play in a photo booth
and from there was born her first work that, as we can see,
has a next part.
We ask ourselves if someday she will get bored of herself.
