Kiko Mizuhara came to Shinsaibashi PARCO! （4/4）

Then, the photo book "DREAM BLUE", which was a big topic, was created and announced. At the same time, a photo exhibition was held at Shibuya PARCO.

"Both of them loved the books published by PARCO Publishing for a long time. I feel that if we can publish this important photo from PARCO Publishing, it may be a wonderful art piece. When I showed pictures and talked, I was very sympathetic to our thoughts, so I decided to put out a photo book and hold a photo exhibition. PARCO has always been respected for art and has a place where artists can shine. I think it's very encouraging and I think it's hope." (Kiko Mizuhara)

"PARCO did not mention the design or layout of the photobook at all. I was very happy to feel that you care about my work.” – Motegi Monica

Looking at the completed photo book, there are scenes of Kiko-chan who has never seen it, and beautiful moments that make her chest hot unexpectedly. I am sure that this creation will not be realized unless the hearts are connected and deeply connected. Kiko and Monica, I think it's a miracle created by that special relationship.

“I’m going to have been with Monica for about eight years. When she lived in Japan, the house was close and I met really well and talked a lot. My favorite things were similar, and I was very close. When I look at Monica, I sometimes feel envious. I take care of myself, and I really respect the passion for my work and the pride that I never give up. Even 1% of them are willing to stop on the way if they have any dislikes, and her work is convincing because she penetrates her thoughts. “Because she’s Kiko, you can do anything! “When you say, or when you look at her, you realize that it’s important to say no properly. I came to think that I should only work with people who understand it by communicating it to others. Monica is also the person that inspired me to face myself,” says Kiko Mizuhara.

The special works created by the relationship between the two became a collection of photographs and became known to the world, and moved many people's hearts through photo exhibitions. This photo exhibition "DREAM BLUE" is now being held at PARCO GALLERY on the 14th floor of Shinsaibashi PARCO.

"I think the atmosphere is completely different from the Shibuya PARCO photo exhibition. It is expressed more conceptually, and rocks and stones are laid out so that you can feel the great nature. I think people who have seen it in Tokyo will see it differently.” (Kiko Mizuhara)

"I had an artist named Rena who I have known since the age of 16 create a space design. Kristen, who traveled with me, worked on the music. They did not feel like they were working, but they enjoyed creating. I am sure you will feel love from this space, and I think it is a space where you can slowly face each photo.” (Monica Motegi)

Before the threat of COVID-19 infection, everyone thought that free time would be forever. But it was suddenly lost, and it has not yet returned to our hands. That's why I want to surrender myself to their free and loving creation now. There is an important sense that is about to be forgotten, the preciousness of freedom, and a dream-like space filled with all of them. I hope that you will enjoy this precious photo exhibition so that you can see the continuation of your dreams with them.
