“I want to take photographs like haikus. The most famous haiku, passed down through centuries, are still open to countless interpretations. With only a few words, they conjure scenes and stir emotions.” ― Masao Yamamoto, quoted in huko’s afterword “Echoes of Constructed Space”
SIGNED COPIES
With birds and landscapes as his subjects, Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto creates a captivating and distinctive visual series. Deeply influenced by his background as a painter and his interest in traditional Japanese compositional techniques – most notably the deliberate use of empty space – Yamamoto’s monochromatic images transcend convention, inviting viewers to reflect on their place within the natural world.
“In an age saturated with information and impatient for instant answers, Yamamoto’s works – refusing to narrow themselves to a single meaning and entrusting interpretation to the viewer – may offer a way for us to recover our own senses.” ― from huko’s afterword “Echoes of Constructed Space”
