This exhibition is a selected project of the Mois de la photo (month of photography) organized by the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), it is part of a collective project organized by Valérie Fougeirol around the theme “Famous Anonymous People and Amateurs”.

For this exhibition, Miki focused on Japanese immigration in Hawaii, which started at the end of the nineteenth century. These Japanese-American photographs, ranging from the beginning of the XIXth century up to the 1950s, will be the centerpieces of the exhibition. Miki scanned and enlarged these images, transferring them by hand onto printed fabrics representing a diverse range of cultural, traditional and symbolic models. They each reflect a particular environment and community.
