Asama International Photo Festival 2024 Miyota, Japan
Photographs are both recording media and memory devices.While they are memories for the photographer, the burned images eventually resonate with the memories of others and become the memories of the community.
From extremely personal items such as family albums to large-scale records created by national projects, photographs have a wide range of roles, but they are the most familiar and excellent invention for recording human activities and turning them into memories. Photography - cameras have become an indispensable part of our lives. This festival will focus on the memories of people, nature, society, peoples, places, and objects through the eyes of photographers from around the world, and will reveal hidden stories, history, thoughts, and problems through photographs. In this era where we take photos every day with our smartphones, we will focus on the familiar theme of "photography and memory," and hold participatory projects and workshops so that everyone can perceive the artworks as something that concerns them, creating a festival with room for co-creation with local residents and visitors.
