HIBIKI MIYAZAKI / PORTFOLIO

I am influenced by vintage American illustration from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and frequently absorb materials I see in those advertisements into my own implied narratives. I also love Flemish painting of the 1400’s to the 1600’s as well as Indian street graphics and vintage propaganda posters from China. From these sources I select a charged gesture, a meaningful glance or particularly choice hair-do or cute jumpsuit and absorb it into some improvised scenerio that grows organically out of that first seminal piece. I am not really interested in any one explanation for any of the art I make. Rather, I am interested in people creating their own relationship with each piece, creating their own stories and using the images as a stage for their own imaginations to play.

ANTJE EGBERT / THE BARE PROJECT / 03.02.-30.04.12

Doing „the bare project“ is my heartfelt wish. My first idea was to just to take some female nude photography, cause I love taking pictures of woman. And I love portraits in landscapes! Daylight! But I wanted to be different from what I usually do. So I setup a studio situation in the middle of a forest.
