Collaborator Information

“ID Exchange” is an original creative project of conceptual photography and writing which has been going since 2005. Until now, it has created 15 sets of artworks.

The method of “ID exchange” is, first to select a person, whom you must know, to be your partner. Two participants choose a set of their own outfits and exchange them. Photos will then be taken at their homes and then an interview will be taken as well; artworks are completed with photos and articles.
