GO SEE* x Friend Editions Photo Book
GO SEE* is co-creative directed by Momoè Sadamatsu and Ramona Wang, a 128 page, spiral bound book featuring 12 subjects. GO SEE* alludes to Juergen Teller’s Go-Sees (1999), a photobook in which aspiring models—largely young women—are presented through the lens of a white male photographer. Teller’s work has long been critiqued for its casual, even dismissive gaze: the “go-see” becomes an exercise in flattening, reducing individuals to surface and stereotype. This project reclaims that format, reworking it as a site of resistance and re-imagination.
Rather than perpetuating the objectification of Asian bodies within the fashion and media industries, GO SEE* foregrounds subjectivity, presence, and agency. Through portraiture and first-person narrative, the project opens up the space between image and identity, disrupting the inherited codes of representation that often render Asian identities monolithic.
