Kimiko Yoshida: The Tale of Genji

Kimiko Yoshida is a Japanese born photographer who divides her time between Paris, France and Venice, Italy. Her work is devoted to self-portraits. Part conceptual artist, part performance artist and part artistic portraitist — Yoshida’s photographic work deals with the concepts of personal and cultural identity. Her evolution as an artist has consistently centered on her face and torso as the control object of each picture — yet her identity is constantly in flux. Who Kimiko ultimately is — is never revealed.
