Ken Kitano “our face: Asia”

Ken Kitano creates composite photographs using multiple portraits of people who belong to particular groups.
In each of these pieces, the “Individual” disappears from the photo paper, and is replaced by “our face”.
Communities with diverse cultures, customs and standpoints are represented.
The culmination of a 15-year-long project by Kitano, this book presents material gathered both in Japan and throughout Asia.
