ABOUT THE INTERVIEW

The Absence of Two by Akihito Yoshida (Japan)

In the rural town of Kunitomi in Japan, Yoshida’s grandmother and his cousin, Daiki, lived together in each other’s care since Daiki’s birth. One day, Daiki disappeared and his body was discovered in the forest a year later. He had committed suicide. Soon after, Yoshida’s grandmother passed away.

In an effort to engage in a dialogue with them through the remaining photographs, Yoshida weaves the love story of their lives.
