From 22nd November to 11th January Point Culture Liège will be displaying 55 portraits and questions from the Hāfu2Hāfu project.
On Saturday 23rd November, I had the chance to hold another gallery talk. This time, my children and family were able to join too.
Special thanks to Point Culture and Passerelle Japon for organising this event and Sylvain Lintzen and Karina Kimoto for helping me translate all the questions in French.

From 20 to 29th September 2019, you can visit the first edition of the Maastricht Photo Festival. The theme is Up Close and presents photographers with a connection with the south of the Netherlands.
There are 24 different venues throughout the city, exhibiting work of more than 30 photographers including some 50 photos from my own Hāfu2Hāfu project.
Many thanks to Bert and Uschi at Maastricht Photo Festival, Pathé Bioscoop Maastricht for this awesome location and FujiFilm Original Photopaper for the fantastic prints.
During the day, a selection of 12 photos and questions from the Hāfu2Hāfu project can be viewed on monitors inside the ICP (International Center of Photography) Museum in New York City and during evening hours, images are literally “projected” onto the windows of the ICP Museum; they can be viewed from the sidewalk outside the Museum and are most visible after sunset.
