FAVORITE SPOTS

17.06.-27.06.

The project Favourite Spots is based on the process that a resident of Seyðisfjörður takes the artist and his camera to their favourite spot, in and around town. Together they photograph at the spot and the resident’s gives their reasons as to why they chose that particular location. This hopefully serves as a visual catalogue of the residents’ memories, thoughts, ideas and stories.

Takeshi Moro is Assistant Professor of Art and Art History at Santa Clara University. He has taught photography at Bowling Green State University and Otterbein University, both in Ohio. He attended Brown University, where he received his BA in 2001 and briefly worked in the field of finance. His interest in photography led him to take courses at the Rhode Island School of Design and pursue an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which he received in 2008.
