DESCRIPTION:

Masao Yamamoto's gorgeous new series, é, provides an ideal forum for his exquisite installations of intimate, dreamlike photographs. Working from a Zen philosophy of "emptiness", Yamamoto makes images that are essentially vignettes of nature and our intersection with it, ruminating over the passage of time and memory. His finished prints are miniature treasures ñ averaging 3 x 5 inches and smaller ñ that are toned, stained, torn, marked, rubbed and creased. In these works, the individual photographs have been arranged on boards, creating what seem to be the pages of a spiritual scrapbook. Their informal arrangement gives one the experience of looking at a group of found vintage photographs, telling a familiar yet unique story.
