working in Rikuzen Takata in Tohoku area hardest hit by 2011 Tsunami. Over 2000 People lost their lives in this
provincial city with population of 15,000. The entire town structure was

The artists duo moved to this city immediately after the disaster,
and now live and work amongst the victims which gives them a very special
access to the local people’s raw perspectives. Komori and Seo’s works are
accumulation of documentation and the reflections from this rare vantage point.
