Izumi Miyazaki生於1994年,2012年在武藏野美術大學(Musashino Art University)修讀影像藝術,大學一年級時開設Tumblr博客,在網絡上分享自拍作品。以為只是一般美白少女的照片?那你就錯了!她的照片總會重複出現自己,這一切原來源自她成長時期的孤獨,當在照片裡製造出許多個自己時,她便不會感到孤獨。另一個時常出現的元素,是食物,椰菜花、麵包、香蕉、米、雞蛋等,靈活地應用在作品中。當初那幅在頭上打蛋的照片,在tumblr上更有數萬個Like,令其迅速在網絡世界竄紅,很快地更引起國際媒體的關注。
It’s been a year since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic emerged, photographer Birdy Chu document the life under the epidemic in 2020. Although everyone has been accustomed to living in the epidemic, it is still incredible to relive the past year’s moments. At the beginning of the epidemic, there were crowds of people lining up to buy masks. Meanwhile, the deserted shops on the streets also became the epitome of Hong Kong.
In one of the pictures, people line up to buy toilet paper and disinfection supplies, which became the new normal. “At that time, pharmacies would occasionally bring out things to sell. I tried to ask the first person waiting in line on the street. It’s sad and absurd that sometimes they didn’t even know what was in the line.”
On the other hand, the cute puppy wearing a mask and the masked girl contrast the young lady with long flowing hair in the billboard. Everything looks unusual. “Even during the festive Christmas holidays, there was still a depressive atmosphere. In one of the shopping malls in Tsim Sha Tsui, everyone lined up to take photos. In front of the beautiful Christmas illumination, three girls didn’t have any happy expressions even though they were photographed. ” It’s realistic yet rather strange.
