Pictures of the World – Momoi Kazuma |
|
| |
 |
| Momoi Kazuma |
Sight is not the only sense in use during a Momoi Kazuma slideshow. When the photojournalist puts his stunning images from around the world to music, as well as asking the audience to put themselves in the picture and "breathe the desert air," or hear the sound of "crackling machine gun fire or the laughter of children," the conflicts, cultures, beauty and destruction of the environment he has captured come alive.
Using arresting shots of people in war zones, razed acres of rainforest or the encroaching expanse of deserts due to global warming, Momoi demonstrates his underlying journalistic theme of, "The condition of modern civilization and the potential of the human race." Portraits of limbless men in Rwanda, bullet scarred apartment blocks in Sarajevo or gun toting child soldiers in different conflicts zones around the world show the darker side of human nature.

While striking images of traffic-packed cities, and aerial shots of the earth - often scarred with the results of industry - illustrate the continuing damage of human life on the natural environment.
Momoi has travelled to over a hundred different countries on his photo journal assignments, and hopes that his work inspires people to think about how the world is connected. What happens in one part of the globe often has an effect all over the planet, politically, economically and environmentally. |
