The subject of Ayano's work is the desire to transform oneself, surpassing one’s granted gender. She photographs herself and other models. The settings and the processes that undertake the transformations thus go further beyond given nationality, sexuality, or time period. The resulting work are printed on textured paper, floats between photography and Manga, and is decorated with glitter, sparkling like stage make-up.


Ayano Sudo is a photographer based in Tokyo, Osaka, New York.
