Maki Hayashida
Maki Hayashida (b.1984, Japan) is a visual artist based in Tokyo. She integrates academic research into artistic research and challenges photography to address social issues, particularly human impact on nature, by pushing boundaries between "documentary" and "expressive” in photographic media.
By completing her MA in Photography at London College of Communication in 2023, her research-based practice has shifted to focus on installation-based work from bookmaking. In doing so, her practice is intended to provoke deeper thinking, challenging photography as contemporary art that reflects on our society.
She began her photographic career in 2014, after her self-made photobook, “JAPAN-GO-ROUND,” produced at Reminders Photography Stronghold workshop in Tokyo, received international acclaim. She has been shortlisted for the LUMA Rencontres Dummy Book Award in 2023 as well as awarded the Grand Prix at Dummy Book Award of Singapore International Photography Festival in 2020. Her work has been exhibited internationally and domestically, including Singapore International Photography Festival (2016), FORMAT International Photography Festival (2019), and KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival KG+SELECT (2021). She was awarded the 17th 'shiseido art egg' and presented a solo exhibition at the Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo (2024).
