Daisuke Yokota

Daisuke Yokota was born in Saitama, Japan in 1983. His use of experimentation in his images is used as a distraction to eliminate information and narrative, and this continues with what Daido Moriyama et al began when they responded to life in post war Japan with an aesthetic known as 'are-bure-boke' (literally, grainy, blurry, out-of focus) and this allowed photography to be considered as strictly for its material nature and removed any kind of reality.

“I try to keep away from figuring out the exact place, or person in my images. In this way the viewers can easy to put themselves into them,”

Yokota says multiple processing and experimentation are also integral to his practice. “There are no stories in my work. There is only what the viewers find within it for themselves. I am more interested in exploring time and multiple possibilities that exist in reality.”

The images that are included in his 'Back Yard' series illustrates things being gracefully messy in there appearance “During the development of my film,” Yokota says, “I stick rubbish to it and experiment with uneven development. I purposely add natural phenomenon to digital data.”

I think that Yokota's work fits in well with mine as its blurry and you cannot really tell what it is and I really like that Yokota's work is quite mysterious and almost a bit creepy, but in a good way.
