The Octopus & FOUND KOBE JAPAN

For the last three years, artist Stefan Jennings and photographer Jane Kelly have been researching and working on FOUND KOBE JAPAN. This project centres on an anonymous photographic album that was found dumped in a skip and which depicts a life lived in Japan in the 1920s, focusing on the international community living in Japan at the time.

Multiple layers of research brought to their attention a Japanese octopus myth with a strong talismanic element, and they are looking for participants to take part in their quest to spread the myth of the seven legged octopus.

Their intention is for the images to form a future exhibition.
