Yasutaka Kojima
Based in Berlin, Kojima captures metropolitan structures and textures that are exposed in the surface layer of cities as urban landscapes. In this exhibition, he will present black and white photos from his Berlin series that meditate on a circular understanding of the “present” through photography.
Kojima has photographed the three metropolises Tokyo, New York, and Berlin as subjects of his cityscapes, discovering each from actually living in and experiencing them, and changing his focus and approach in each city. For him, while the qualities of a city that appear on its surfaces are manmade physically, they were also created reflecting subconscious human intentions and desires. Recorded, they become an accumulation of fragments of the subconscious.
In the series Tokyo and New York the urban space composed of manmade structures such as buildings and roads are taken from a high vantage point, but in Berlin, building facades and scenes from the street are taken at ground level with an even and contemplative composition. From this approach to increasingly immediate landscapes, Kojima rethinks the way the fabric of cities develop and change according to the passage of time, the ability of photographs to arrest the momentary present of “here and now” while oriented towards the future, and time itself.
