Artists

Daisuke Yokota
Daisuke Yokota (b. 1983) is currently showing work at Aichi Triennale 2016: an enormous installation of 100,000 wax-processed photographs titled “Matter/Vomit.” At the 2015 Jimei X Arles International Photo Festival in China he presented “Matter,” which emphasizes the texture and materiality of photograph surfaces by mass-printing images from photo books and ordinary life on rolls of paper and solidifying them in wax. He later restaged this work in an empty lot in Xiamen before burning the entire installation and documenting the process in a series of 4,000 photographs. He then reconstructed the work based on these records. G/P Gallery in Ebisu is exhibiting “Matter/Vomit” and a video showing a performance of the Xiamen incineration.
