Biography
Hiroko Murayama is a photographer whose work explores the contours that emerge through relationships with others, landscape, and memory.
Starting from intimate family relationships, her practice investigates the shifting boundaries between self and other, body and landscape, perception and memory.
Her major works include The Linden Garden (2016), a project tracing family memories, and A Quiet Erosion, which reflects on motherhood and the changing contours of the self.
Since 2025, she has been developing His Own Antlers, a body of work centered on her relationship with her son after he discovered deer antlers in the forest.
