miss fotojapon is a series that started as part of a written diary around 1995. I kept on passing by a photobooth near my house and taking pictures every time I walked by. I used to put them in my diary, which started demanding more photos as time passed and I carried on changing my appearance. Beards, piercings, glasses, hats, new haircuts, were all perfect excuses to carry on making these photographs, and taking them became a great excuse to change my appearance as well: it was a vicious cycle.
As time passed, I realized I was going almost on a daily basis, so I decided to do it daily on the 1st of June of 2000. For 17 years, I have been confronting the passing of time from inside photo booths. This work has always been the starting point and backbone of my work, it can also be viewed as a timeline from which all my other works emerge.
This work will be featured in the upcoming book 50 Selfportraits published by Phaidon in Spring 2018.
