Through his KYOTOGRAPHIE exhibition Heartstrings, a project about dementia, Kazuhiko Matsumura contributes to the conversation for those affected by the condition and those foreign to it, helping to overcome a BORDER by creating an educational opportunity that fosters compassion.
Matsumura will present the making of Heartstrings, sharing the symptoms and intimacy of those with dementia, the required care, and an ideal model of a supportive society through the mixed media presentation of photographs, texts, and videos.
In addition, participants will gain insight into his personal life, juggling his professional life as a Kyoto Newspaper photographer and personal projects, exploring various platforms as outlets for his works, including magazines (online and print), photo books, and photography festivals.
Participants will share their works in return, then discuss them in a group setting to find attainable goals for individual objectives.
