MICHIKO KON

Born in Kamakura of the Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan in 1955, Kon graduated from the Sokei Art School in 1978, where she studied woodblock printing, collage, and assemblage. She later attended the Tokyo Photographic College.

Kon's work creates a delicious tension between the animate and the
inanimate. Diverse biological matter such as fish, plants, and insects are
unexpectedly combined with clothing, shoes, furniture, and even body parts.
Elegant meditations on the nature of time, Kon's photographs explore the
transitory nature of existence.
