Erika Yoshino
Erika Yoshino’s third solo exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery will feature 17 works shot between 2014 and 2017. Yoshino has likened her photographic expression to marble, which develops its unique pattern slowly over many years in nature. Yoshino’s subjects are her everyday surroundings and her photographs require no explanation. Walking with camera in hand, she coolly captures whatever happens to draw her eye. Allowing for inevitability and chance occurrences, she seeks out interesting scenes and things she does not know or understand.

Printing a sizable number of photographs, Yoshino juxtaposes and rearranges these images to produce an accumulation of images that she wants to see, then goes shooting again. The repetition of this process—shooting and editing—creates a world with a unique ambiance in which time, memory, and experience are condensed and deepened. Yoshino’s roots are in street snapshots, a subtle constant in her recent work also seen in “Just Like the Radio” (2011), which marked her transition from black and white to color. In “Marble,” the quietude and strength shown in “Neroli” (2016) has formed a richer fold within the core of her independently developed sensibilities of time.
