The Other Side - Masako Miyazaki

This series is born from a simple gesture: walking alone through unfamiliar places and observing them. In cities such as Montreal and elsewhere around the world, I collect everyday scenes that often go unnoticed, moments without names that escape existing categories. By connecting images made in different locations, I seek to create a visual experience that transcends the boundaries of language and perception.

In this series, many of the images are composed with a gaze directed into the distance, as if contemplating “the other side.” This “other side” is not limited to physical distance; it also encompasses time, memory, and inner experience. It is within this in-between space that I position myself, exploring through photography the relationship between perception and consciousness.
