ARTIST STATEMENT

SEVENTEEN GIRL DAYS

The daily life of a 17-year-old high school student is full of danger. Radical days. Passing days. A sadly pitiful world. Why is love painful. ROCK IS MY LIFE. I'm scared that I'm getting closer to becoming an adult. I live, reflecting upon myself.

Selecting judge: Nobuyoshi Araki

Girls tend to hold nothing back, and don't think too much. Without thinking too much, they let their feelings rule their actions. Her feelings that she wants to create and try anything, as well as her flexibility are apparent. Guys think too much. I think teens are going to be interesting.

Selecting judge: Fumio Nanjo

This kitschy presentation, editing, this is it. This shows the precocious mysteriousness of late teens, kind of like the pain, the anger, the fragileness. The cover is also enveloped in a mysterious glamour.

PROFILE

HIROMIX

HIROMIX made her debut as a photographer at the 1995 New Cosmos of Photography. Her global popularity and renown stem from her iconic photographs that created a pop sensation in the 1990s and, more recently, for her leadership in the women's rights movement.
