The photographic work in Blind Date by Lieko Shiga explores a deep, often unsettling atmosphere through a dense layering of surreal and evocative images. Shiga employs a visually complex narrative strategy, merging elements of landscape, portraiture, and fantasy to create a haunting, almost otherworldly experience that challenges viewers’ perception and emotions.

Consisting of 500 pages, the book presents a substantial body of work revealing Shiga’s intricate approach to composition and thematic exploration. The images often evoke themes of memory, nature, and personal mythology, inviting interpretations tied to both vulnerability and the supernatural. Published by Seigensha Art Publishing in 2017, the work is notable for its meticulously crafted prints and sustained intensity.
