Miyako Ishiuchi – Yokosuka Story (1), 1977

Ishiuchi documented post war streets and buildings which later turned into a big American naval base. Capturing not only traces of the occupation which lingered decades after the war, but also charging her work subjectively which blended personal and political awareness. I like the way she uses light to create atmosphere in her photos and I like her candid shots and how they have a surreal feel to them.
