In the summer of 2024, Yoko Ikeda and Toshio Shibata embarked on a classic California road trip. Starting out in Los Angeles, they traveled up the Central Coast to Paso Robles before heading east to Nipton, Lone Pine, and the Mojave Desert. Ikeda photographed the journey using both film and digital cameras, weaving two stories in parallel. Upon returning to Japan, she processed her film and realized that it had been fogged, likely the result of being x-rayed at the airport on her way home.

Fortunately, sometimes unexpected elements can bring good results: the hazed photographs call up memories of her summertime journey through the desert, heat waves rising off roads and the vague feeling of being away from home.
