Ken Kitano (born 1968, in Tokyo. Lives in Tokyo.)
He has been active worldwide as one of talented outstandingly and promising Japanese
photographer. What kind of decade was that which in Japan is called the “lost decade,” the
90s. Ken Kitano was deliriously forging his own personal path in photography. It was 1989
when he started shooting the series, “Flow and Fusion”. In Japan. At first Kitano took
photographs of the rush-hour crowds in city centers. Places like Shinjuku, Shibuya,
Yokohama, etc. He used a slow shutter speed and a tripod. A photographer alternates
between discoveries and despairs in the course of his endless “dialogue with photography.”
The existence of people is extremely difficult to grasp, amorphous and fragile. Their contours
are always fluid, but each figure holds its own equivalent position in photographs. Through
the photographs collective existence was solid and beautiful. He knew we exist. Indeed, the
world is present. That was the miracle of photography, that will last forever.

The work is nominated to the sponsor prize ”BMW award".
