The third issue of Revue Diapo is dedicated to a series of intriguing portraits by Kanade Hamamoto, a photographer based in Yokohama. For several years, she has been working on portraits of women, alone or in pairs, whose photographic processing and lighting render their faces hazy, barely legible, or even impossible to decipher. The identity of these women is thus intended to be complex, emanating directly from their attitude, their clothing, or their posture, without relying on traditional means of expression. Through these images, Hamamoto questions the complex identity of women and the memory we retain of it. Text by Ryoko Sekiguchi.
