MEMORIES
SHORT LIST
Statement
Unclear
Memories are unclear and important.That beauty that an incomplete thing has is unclear. But it is beautiful.We know that, but forget often.I think, Memories are fragments in everyday. Can't see the same scene again. That's why memories are precious.And beautiful, because it is incompletely.

I want to convey the importance and beauty of this memory
with photography, day by day.
Jury selection
Judged by Tim Barber:
Inspired by the Grand Prix, Takahashi Miki’s work, I thought it would be fun and interesting to make a compilation of the widely diverse and eclectic work submitted for this contest. When edited and organized, the “memory” submissions, sent in from dozens of artists, become a kind of collective-memory-collage, a dream sequence of disparate clues from a kaleidoscopic narrative.
* This work was included in a curated collection of works selected by the judge Tim Barber from a number of submitted works. See the collection
