     Mieko Tadokoro, Japanese artist born in 1952 is one of the rare masters of pinhole photography. She holds shows in Tokyo, at Fuji Photo Salon, Kodak Photo Salon and le Printemps Ginza.

     Mieko Tadokoro does not have cameras, her pictures are made with the "Camera Obscura", light-tight boxes pierced with a hole of a third millimeter. This optical device, several millenaries old, allows us to have an infinite depth of field and makes appear in the photography unperceptible images to the human eye.

      An unarmed photographer, Mieko Tadokoro strolls in Paris and delivers us her "reflections", perspectives unknown so far in our town.
