Born in Lyon in 1984, represented by Akio Nagasawa gallery. Chloé Jafé is an artist and a photographer trained at the École de Condé in Lyon and at the UAL Central Saint Martins School in London. She has been able to create a unique personal voice in the world of documentary photography. Her obsession and intuition has enabled her to access secret worlds. The images are raw, black and white, tender and ferocious. She reveals an unprecedented vision of hidden parts of Japanese society. Her trilogy, composed of the chapters “I give you my life”, “Okinawa mon amour” and “Osaka Ben”, highlights the little-known and subversive sides of an archipelago where modesty is a paramount. Attracted by sensitive and difficult subjects, often marginal, Chloé Jafé does not hesitate in her practice to push the limits of the photographic medium by working directly on prints, in acrylic and brush.
