People have started to move into their new studio. In our second year, we can choose an apartment and a studio. I’ll stay in the same apartment, but I will move into a new studio. It is in a separate block called ménage, a big brick building – a bit like an old train station. There were several other choices too – bigger or lighter – but each has its inconveniences such as an odd-shaped ceilings, unnecessary windows, pillars and beams... I think I am lucky to get the space I like – an ordinary studio space.
Today’s OA report is on my mabudachi (true friend), a Dutch photographer, Peggy (a super cute girl!).

She said that thinking about paintings often motivates her to take photographs.
She said that she often gets inspiration for her photographs from thinking about paintings.
I sat as a model for some of her works this year. This is one of them.
The object in the middle is a sculpture on which photograph is pasted. This is not a triangular pyramid. This tells you that this used to be a two-dimensional work, by revealing the process of being cut and folded.
It was interesting to see the process of how a photographer makes photographs – how she develops her ideas, how she choose the size, how she trims it and so on.
