Known for his beautiful prints and uniquely atmospheric works on themes of nature and humanity, Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto has earned high acclaim both at home and abroad for his distinctively Japanese aesthetic. In recent years, he has exhibited in galleries around the world, making him one of the most acclaimed Japanese artists. This book, "Small Things, in Silence," brings together Yamamoto's representative works, including early photographs from his two photobooks, "Empty Box" and "E," both published by the American publisher Nazraeli Press. At the beginning, Yamamoto states, "I believe I have been deeply fascinated by and focused on the joy of discovering small objects and insignificant events that might otherwise be overlooked, the feeling of having a button buttoned incorrectly, and the moment when you lose your bearings in a haze that has taken over your entire being." He describes his own style of expression as "a way of conveying something like an illusion." While his images may seem like vast, sweeping images of nature, they also evoke a beauty that combines mystery and sublimity. This book explores the world of photography that only Yamamoto can express. Japanese edition. First edition published in 2014.
