Osamu Yokonami: A Feeling
About The Book
A Feeling captures the trivial details that often escape our notice – small moments that fade into the background of our daily lives. Drawn to these overlooked fragments, Osamu Yokonami (b. 1967, Japanese) sought to grasp them, lest they pass by unnoticed. As time passes, familiar things begin to feel distant, slipping away without warning. There is beauty in things shaped by time and in their uncertain, transient forms. Yokonami’s subconscious catches sight of fragility, and through this lens, imperfection gleams at him. Publisher’s Info

About The Artist
Through rhythmic repetition and seriality, Osamu Yokonami explores identity and cultural homogeneity. His twin series, 1000 Children 2010-2013 and Assembly on-going since 2010 explore conceptions of selfhood and the range of human emotions, suggesting a reflexive and essential congruence between individual expression and communal belonging. A related series, Assembly Snow 2015, is an extension of the original where the forces of nature and culture blur into abstraction. More recently, Osamu has undertaken a new project, After 1000 Children 2017-2018, locating girls from the initial series for side-by-side comparisons of them alongside their younger selves.
