If you will indulge me in a walk down memory lane, last year around this time we featured the work of Japanese photographer Kanako Sasaki in conjunction with the Shiseido Art Egg awards. Well, her work is now available at Azito, the online gallery of contemporary Japanese art! Kanako received her MFA in photography from our very own SVA in 2004. Kanako is a storyteller. She photographs herself in sites of historical significance, using history as an alternate landscape.
