01/ Statement
I photograph what remains after presence.
Mira Aono works across photography, moving image and installation.
Her practice explores the traces left by the body — light on skin, fabric holding a shape, an empty room after someone has gone.
Rather than documenting a subject, she creates fragments from which memory can be reconstructed.
写真、映像、インスタレーションを通して、身体、記憶、時間の痕跡を探る。
肌に残る光、形を記憶する布、人が去ったあとの部屋。
被写体を説明するのではなく、断片から記憶が立ち上がる瞬間を捉えている。
