MY NAME IS NOT KAWASAKI
Due to her multicultural heritage, Elsa Okazaki has always been drawn to the theme of identity, which has shaped her work from the beginning.
Her mother contributes the French-Spanish roots, while her father adds the Japanese element.
Living in Europe since birth, she feels closely connected to her mother's culture, although her father's culture was initially foreign to her.
Japan still remains somewhat of a mystery to her in some aspects, but through multiple journeys, she has gradually uncovered more about this facet.
In this new book, she showcases all Japan-related projects (2010-2023), featuring art photography series and snapshots.
Themes such as Japanese culture and history, everyday racism (inspiring the title), and feminism have influenced these works.
