Makoto Yamashita
Makoto Yamashita is a photographer and artist from Kochi Prefecture, who focuses on capturing and expressing events in modern society that are hidden on the surface and often overlooked, through the medium of photography.
In this exhibition, his first solo show, he attempts to deconstruct "realism as representation" by amplifying the errors left behind as waste when the photographic machine scans and projects the world we live in. For example, in his piece, "35.714033, 139.773860," the images generated as straight photography are output to a monitor as data, and the projected images are photographed again with a photographic machine, creating an integrated body of work based on a continuous process.
The intention of this group of works, created by copying and compositing, is to show the divergence from the simulacrum from the perspective of a kind of landmark floating in a sea of data.
In this exhibition, Yamashita will present 28 works from the same series.
