| We reclaim our own nakedness. A unique session with photographer Keiko Nomura and actress Ami Tomite!
Photographer Keiko Nomura photographs the naked Tomite Ami, an actress who has appeared in numerous films and the much-talked-about "The Naked Director." Using the photographs as a canvas, Tomite uses vivid colors mercilessly and layered pictures with free brushstrokes to create her own nude. This collection of works is a mini photobook (bound by Scrum) containing 16 graphic cards and newly taken photographs.
Ami Tomite began her career as a gravure idol in her teens, and as an actress she has devoted herself to scenes where she was naked during her acting. During this time, she began to think about her own nakedness, which belongs to no one else. Also, when filming on location stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic and she was forced to stay at home, she began to create paintings using colorful ballpoint pens. At first, these were not meant to be shown to anyone, but rather as a form of self-defense against the increasingly suffocating world.
After seeing the work, photographer Nomura Keiko recognized Tomite's talent as an artist, and the two embarked on this project with the aim of "reclaiming their own nakedness."
