DescriptionLondon-based artist Miki Soejima walks the line between fact and fiction, uncovering photography’s inherent artifice and truths. Her latest project, The Passenger’s Present, combines street photographs from Japan with constructed still life images, including her print, Still Life 04. Her images allude to narratives, histories, and myths beneath Japanese society’s surface. Some images include small red spheres; these are Atomic FireBalls, the American candy named after the atomic bomb. “I think my core interest lies in how narrative context can shape our way of seeing the world and affect how we act,” she says.
