"Noise" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kumi Oguro. Based in Europe, Oguro is an artist who explores photographic expression that touches upon memory and the unconscious through strong light and shadow, fragmented images, and compositions that defy explanation. Rather than telling events as a story, her focus is on creating the discrepancies and tensions that arise between images, and the feelings that cannot be fully put into words, and this attitude is strongly reflected in this, her first collection of works. The title "Noise" is not merely noise, but is perceived as subtle disturbances and echoes that spill from the surface of consciousness, with fragments of light, shadow, body, and landscape connected without a clear story. A characteristic feature is that the sense of "getting stuck" that the artist describes quietly persists in the photographs, conveying the unease and inexplicable presence lurking in everyday life. The composition, which opens up the depth of sensation by rejecting narrative, has a density reminiscent of fragments of dreams and memories, and also hints at questions about the act of seeing itself. This is an important book that allows you to touch upon the core of Kumi Oguro's expression, which attempts to recapture the world through fragments and reverberations.
