Daisuke Yokota

Daisuke Yokota’s work questions the relation between memory, images and sensations. His practice consists in constantly revisiting his own archive of personal photographs by adding layers of accidents, in order to metaphorically signify the superimposition of states of consciousness and memories. Often referring to the principles of echo and reverb, Yokota also establishes links between visual and musical fields. One could say that he captures ‘noise’ in the broadest sens of the word.

Daisuke Yokota is the author of numerous critically-acclaimed artist’s books, either handmade and self-published or realized with various publishers.
His works are housed in the public collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (France), the Foam Photography Museum (the Netherlands), the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (France) and the New York Public Library (USA). They have been the subject of solo and group exhibitions organized by Centre Pompidou-Metz (France, 2018), the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (France, 2017), Tate Modern (UK, 2018), the Aichi Triennale (Japan, 2016), or Les Rencontres d’Arles (France, 2015 and 2016).
