![]() ![]() The world is replete with the unforeseeable, and one cannot help feel that man is but a single part of nature. The city is filled with countless surprises. It is very interesting, like becoming acquainted with my unknown self. I feel refreshed, as if my sleeping consciousness has been suddenly and unexpectedly awakened. When walking in the streets, there are times when I encounter fascinating scenes. Although difficult to discern from a mere few shots, when it manifests in the form of an array of images, the photographer’s way of life also naturally comes to be reflected, as entrusted in the hands of his subjects. The more I walk the streets with my camera each day, I feel it eventually leading to a certain purpose in life. ![]() There is also the pleasure of being able to project your interests, curiosities, and whatever you may feel at your own free will. As the core meaning lies within the subject, I try to press the shutter with the mindset of capturing that moment. Nevertheless it is a copy of reality itself. It is strange, but when walking in the streets there are times when I come across moments that touch me emotionally, such as people’s facial expressions and gestures, various circumstances surrounding the city and things… When encountering such scenes, I often find my body (cells) reacting willfully and releasing the shutter. The exhibition marks the artist’s second solo presentation at Taka Ishii Gallery, and features approximately 12 works comprising early black and white photographs from 1980-1990, and recent color snapshots from 2016-2017, all of which capture scenes of Tokyo -a subject Yamauchi has engaged with as his lifework since the very beginning of his career. Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film is pleased to present “Tokyo 2,” a solo exhibition of works by Michio Yamauchi, from November 17 to December 22.
