Photo Exhibition Vernissage and Japanese Craft Sake Bar by aged-sake.de

“Blurred Reality” and it’s second part “Disoriented” have been shown in Kyoto as part of the prestigious international photography festival Kyotographie KG+.

The first installment of “Blurred Really” highlighted the fine line or grey space that lies between reality and our imagination. Beautiful places of escape layered on top of our real lives. The second installment “Disoriented”, just like its predecessor dealt with a shift in reality. However, the focus shifted much closer to a sense of displacement, isolation, and the question of “how did I get here?”
