A BOX OF KU

In the A Box of Ku collection, Yamamoto recreates images inspired by the philosophy of “emptiness”. According to this teaching, the inherent nature of things and phenomena is negated due to their relativity. The photographs in this series are deliberately aged: Yamamoto colored them with tea, tore and tinted them, carried them in his pockets. As he explains, this process aims to evoke the presence of a human hand, a personal history within each work.
