COLLECT – YUSUKE YAMATANI

A photography performance by Yusuke Yamatani
On Saturday, September 21 at 22:30, as part of the Out of Print #2 exhibition and Unseen Open Gallery Night, Yusuke Yamatani presents ‘Doors’. For this artwork, Yusuke hits a drumkit; the vibrations are picked up by sensors that activate camera shutters and flashing strode lights. The pictures are then continuously printed from in monochrome via a computer. As he repetitively and violently strikes, the artist enters a trance-like state, capturing self-portraits that merge consciousness and unconsciousness, melding the perspective of the audience with that of the camera. The irregular speed of the shutter and flash of light leaves the residual image that reverberates in the darkness. Shifting between live performance and photography, ‘Doors’ evokes the complexity and distortion of human perception.
