Yoko Koyama’s new work "Renée,ｌa lune," which follows her earlier works "she, sheep" and "no dark," consists of photos that capture the darkness of the artist’s own room. As in those previous works, the images in her photos do not manifest themselves unless one closely examines them. In this exhibition, Koyama attempts to demystify her own mind that is turned toward darkness through superimposing it with the mind of a schizophrenic girl named Renée, who appears in Marguerite Sechehaye’s book "Autobiography of a Schizophrenic Girl: The True Story of Renée." When human beings become aware of the unfathomable, unrealistic world that surrounds the real world, their minds tend to lack balance, vulnerably waver and then begin to collapse. Renée called the unfathomably deep unreality surrounding her as "The Land of Light," and continued her attempt to resist entering that land. The darkness that Koyama focuses on does not symbolize Renée’s state of despair, but acts as a clue for her to escape from despair.
