"Shimane no OL" (Office Lady of Shimane) is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Asami Minami (1987-). While working as a company employee, Minami has continued to create photographs, quietly observing the people around her and the landscapes of rural areas, carefully capturing the atmosphere of the land and the relationships between people. In her previous work, "MATSUOKA!", she built a unique world centered on one person, but in this book, a story unfolds from an encounter with an office lady working in Shimane. The subject is neither a celebrity nor a model, but a very ordinary office worker. However, Minami was drawn to her and repeatedly visited Shimane to take photographs. In the photographs that accumulated in this way, the casual gestures and expressions of everyday life gradually take on a special brilliance, and begin to drift along the boundary between reality and fiction. This book captures a world that rises from an interest in one person and an intimate gaze, against the backdrop of the everyday scenery of a provincial city.
