Hiroko Yamamoto
Hiroko Yamamoto, who has been working as a fashion stylist for 13 years, wanted to create a styling work that was not client work, and chose the quilts of her mother, quilt artist Teruko Yamamoto, as the inspiration for her work.
Yamamoto selected four large tapestries from her mother's archive and used them as inspiration for the direction and styling of the photographic works. For this exhibition, the photographs and tapestries will be exhibited together as a pair of works.
The photographs were taken by Kyoko Munakata, a photographer who has worked with Yamamoto on a regular basis. Yamamoto asked Kyoko Munakata, who has an eye for reflecting the feminine qualities of her subjects regardless of their gender, to take the photographs from the early stages of the project.
For this project, Yamamoto chose her own 5-year-old daughter as the model to reconstruct and project her mother's work. The main visual piece, a kimono, was based on a piece that Yamamoto's mother had made from her grandmother's wedding clothes, thus connecting four generations of parents and children.
The work was inspired by an impressive tapestry made of indigo-dyed fabric that the artist had dyed herself. Costume artist Michiru Murakami designed and created costumes based on the use of this fabric.
