Komori and Seo recounted of how they were asked by locals to "be our eyes", by photographing the barren lands where their homes once stood.
Before this year's residency, Komori Haruka and Seo Natsumi had been working in the hardest hit are of the 2011 tsunami. For a month, this young emerging artist duo were able to showcase their work in various London venues. Their work was both informative and emotive, displaying an aspect of struggle that is rarely portrayed by the media. Komori and Seo recounted of how they were asked by locals to "be our eyes", by photographing the barren lands where their homes once stood, and to "be our voices", by bringing these people's stories to the outside world. Komori + Seo's residency took place between 19th May-5th June 2014 at Husk Gallery and Project space, 649-651 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London, E14 7LW.
