Kazuna Taguchi blurs the border between photography and painting in that her work involves creating a monochrome acrylic painting that is then photographed to produce a finished image.
Taguchi begins by gathering a selection of the innumerable images flooding media such as fashion magazines and the internet. Disassembling them, she uses the resulting fragments to make montages, which she then renders in paint. The delicate canvases thus created are then photographed, taking on their final, completed form via a different medium again.

The person, or people, depicted are thus processed through montage, painting and then photograph, and at each stage their existence is made to change. The final photographs contain elements of our own everyday lives, and yet we have no experience of them.
