Izima Kaoru: New Work

Izima Kaoru: New Work at Von Lintel Gallery in New York. "...In his most recent body of work, the premise remains the same. Kaoru asks famous Japanese models and actresses to describe fantasies of their own deaths and then stages them for the camera. Working in multiple panel sequences, his photos allude to film: wide-angle shots set the scene before giving way to medium and close-up views, details of the women's fantasies revealed along the way. The models are perfectly coiffed, hair and makeup flawlessly in place, outfitted in couture by Alexander McQueen, Jil Sander and Jean Paul Gaultier." More Works by Izima Kaoru at Galerie Andreas Binder in Munich.
