Career
Nagashima is a photography tutor at Musashino Art University in Tokyo. Nagashima was nominated for the award by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan"s best known photographers. In 1995, Nagashima had a two-person exhibition with the American photographer Catherine Opie at the Parco Gallery, Tokyo.
Following this encounter with Opie, Nagashima embarked on a Master of Fine Arts at the California Institute of the Arts under her tutelage.
Nagashima has published numerous important photography monographs that deal with the family, gender, identity and sexuality. In the West, Nagashima has been compared to American photographer Nan Goldin.
In at times provocative photographs, Nagashima has tested public perceptions on obscenity and censorship in Japan. Nagashima is represented by the gallery SCAI the Bathhouse in Tokyo, where she had numerous solo and group exhibitions.
In addition to her work as a photographer and photography tutor, Nagashima has published (as Senaka no kioku, meaning "Memories of a back") a series of biographical stories from her childhood in 2009.
In August 2014, Nagashima was a Master at the International Summer School of Photography, in Latvia. She led a workshop titled "Photography as a Subversive Tactic: Being the Other".
