Edward Osborn

I was born in Germany to American parents and have lived, worked or studied in numerous countries before spending nearly 20 years in Japan starting in the early 1990s. I am currently in the Houston, Texas area.

I am interested not only in everyday reality but also in the ways its fabric sometimes frays at the edges. The world of dreams, the collective unconscious, life after death, and the notion that we share our existence with other intelligences are all of great interest to me.

In my photography I try to walk a line of in-betweenness, moving back and forth from the visible world to suggestions of the liminal spaces that lie beneath or beyond our dominant five senses. To do so, I use all the tools available within the medium to oscillate between the here/now and the sometime/somewhere.

In November 2024, I released my first photobook, Labyrinths —a limited edition of 250 copes. Labyrinths is held in the research libraries of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Tokyo Photographic Museum.
