Iwauko Murakami is a Tokyo-based photographer. She became the latest winner of Miki Jun Award, one of the most privileged photo awards to emerging photographers in Japan subject to her photo exhibition “Known Unknown” at Nikon Salon. The exhibition will return to Nikon Salon this April as award winning commemoration.

“In this project, I just asked women to show me their natural looks and acts as usual as if I was not there. In each image, she never shows her face, and she is never looking at you. The observer and the subject are absolutely disconnected. When historical, dominant directions between "seeing" and "being" are disrupted, we will see how we can find "hers" on the photographic surface, whose visibility and invisibility would go hand in hand addressing individuals of us today”, says Murakami..
