Kumi Oguro is born in a suburb of Japan in 1972, lives and works in Antwerp since 1999.
Her study of photography started in London in 1996, followed by further development at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp until 2003.

Next to photography, she also experimented with video and installation in a postgraduate program, ‘Transmedia’ in Brussels. Her research theme in the program was ‘Photographic film and Filmic photography’, in other words, the relation between still and moving image. This subject is also treated later on in her thesis for ‘Film studies and Image culture’ at the University Antwerp in 2006, with the title About the “filmic” in photography. After this study, she concentrates again in the development of her photographic oeuvre in which suggestion of ‘time’ and ‘space’ plays an important role.
