2009 Santa Fe Prize for Photography
Sentimental Education has been awarded the 2009 Santa Fe Prize.
for Photography
2009 juror was Charlotte Cotton, Curator and Head of the Wallis Annenberg
Department of Photography,
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles,
CA
She wrote of the work:
"I have chosen Hiroyo Kaneko as the recipient of the Santa Fe Prize for
Photography because, for me, the work
and her artist's statement really
intrigued me, perhaps even confused me at first.
It is often the case for me
that the first time I experience an enduring photographic project, it doesn't
entirely reveal itself to me. I kept
returning to Hiroyo Kaneko's images
of
her
family bathing in hot tubs. I had questions about the work -
is the subject
of Japanese bathing with its visually seductive mis-en-scene make this
project inherently too
beautiful? What does the range in her use of portraiture
say about
her subjects and relationships to them?
In essence, I needed a little
bit of time to become comfortable with the better than formulaic way
that Hiroyo
Kaneko works and to trust that the ambiguous and unexpected threads
that her
practice weaves are both
interesting and enduring. I appreciate the subtle
layers of thought and observation that underpin her practice
and I
really look forward to seeing how the amazing support that the Santa Fe Prize
for Photography
offers
will impact on her photography."
