London-based artist Miki Soejima walks the line between fact and fiction, uncovering photography’s inherent artifice and truths. Soejima’s work with photographs began after completing studies in Cultural Anthropology at Kyoto’s Ryukoku University, which included a year’s exchange at the University of Westminster. She ten moved to London to study photography at the London College of Communication. Soejima received the 2012 First Book Award from MACK and the National Media Museum for Mrs. Merryman’s Collection, which MACK published in 2012. Her next book, The Passenger’s Present, is forthcoming. She has exhibited widely in Europe and the US, including Dublin’s PhotoIreland Festival, Barcelona’s Arts Santa Monica, and London’s Michael Hoppen Gallery. Soejima participated in Light Work’s Artist-in-Residence program in 2015. (SOURCE: Light Work, Syracuse, NY)
