Life
Nagashima became famous in Japan after being nominated for the second Urbanart Award by well-known photographer Nobuyoshi Araki . She received the award for a series of self-portraits that showed her and her family naked. At the time of the award ceremony, Nagashima was still a student at Musashino Art School , where she graduated in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in design and visual communication.
In the same year she exhibited her works in the Parco Gallery in Tokyo together with the American photographer Catherine Opie . After this collaboration, she enrolled at the California Institute of the Arts in 1997 in order to obtain a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree under Opie's supervision, which she was awarded in 1999.
Nagashima has published several photo books on family, gender, identity, and sexuality. In the west she was compared to the American photographer Nan Goldin . With her sometimes provocative pictures, Nagashima demands the public perception of obscenity and censorship in Japan. Her works have been shown in several group and solo exhibitions at the SCAI The Bathhouse gallery in Tokyo. In addition to her work as a photographer and lecturer, Nagashima published a number of biographical stories from her childhood.
