Revue Diapo 003 - Midday Ghost

The third issue of the magazine is devoted to Kanade Hamamoto, a photographer interested in the anchoring of memory in objects, places and people. Her work, influenced by the discovery of old films with faded colors evoking her fragmented memories, has led her to experiment with unconventional photographic techniques. The portraits in the midday ghost series, published in 2020, depict ambiguous beings without defined contours or facial expressions. Kanade sees them as a reflection of memory, which becomes blurred when we try to remember a face. These figures oscillate between identity and anonymity: somewhere, but nowhere, someone, but no one.
