Shiori Ikeno

Shioli Ikeno’s exhibition “Spring Fever” is part of Ace Hotel’s global Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program, which offers artists from a wide range of disciplines a space to create and exhibit their work.
The Kyoto edition of the AIR program is curated by commune, a Tokyo-based gallery, bookstore, and publisher.

“For me, taking photographs is a lifelong pursuit — like scribbling notes, a form of meditation, or an endless inner monologue.
It doesn’t require a special concept or purpose.
It’s something casual, and what I capture is often trivial and seemingly insignificant.
It’s simply about walking through the city and encountering people.
Photography is a never-ending study, perhaps even a series of misunderstandings.
My curiosity in life is closely and inseparably tied to photography.”
