Zen Sekizawa

You And I See Why

Zen Sekizawa is a Los Angeles based photographer and director. You and I See Why is a reflection of ideas generated from notes written to herself from 2009–2014. The book includes Los Angeles memorabilia, such as junior high yearbook pages, images of the L.A. Riots, and childhood snapshots from her family’s legendary punk institution, The Atomic Café. You and I See Why addresses the fleeting nature of memory and the inevitable loss of context that occurs when revisiting old ideas. Sekizawa places this loss of context as the starting point to generate this body of work made up of recently created, as well as reappropriated images from her personal archive.

ISBN 978-0-9906351-3-0

Soft cover, perfect bound 64 pages, 6.5 x 9-inch Edition of 500 Release date: February 1, 2015

This is Mr. BunBun & friends. I had the most pleasure taking care of these lovely entities and a garden while their mum was away. I thought cats were pretty zen creatures, but BunBun here was the master of peace in the house. He ate and ate, breathed, defecated, and ate some more. My job was to make sure everything alive stayed alive. It was some work but I think I did it successfully. Watering the plants and feeding the animals, I think there’s something magical in caring for something outside of oneself.

I’m so on board the Lupita bandwagon. 

I loved her in this custom Prada dress, particularly because it made her look just like Cinderella in the Disney classic with that headband.

On Death and the power of meditation

When a friend or family member passes on, some tend to want to own that "death". To use it to take that energy of death and shroud themselves in it, in a mouner's cape, to hold it up to show us how much they cared. I believe it is the silent meditation on the love we shared with the departed that really matters.

My dear friend Ophelia is such a beautiful woman. She posted a photo of herself last night on fb and I had to do a drawing from it. Her hair is so awesome. Incidentally, she was the model for this painting I did of the Evil Queen. Flawless beauty.
