Mahoko Akiyama’s Doll Collection

Maidens Invited to the Goldfish Mansion One Lapis Lazuli Night

Teetering on the edge between innocence and seduction, photographer Mahoko Akiyama’s dolls exist in a dream-like landscape where dark shadows lurk. The artist makes both dolls and environments, records each image, then hand-colors the black-and-white photos. Any viewer will be unsettled by this excursion to the border between girlhood and womanly eroticism.
