ABOUT THE BOOK
As a small boy growing up in the Japanese countryside, photographer Yamamoto Masao enjoyed looking up at the sky. From his classroom window, he would gaze at the windblown clouds, mesmerized by airborne creatures such as birds, butterflies and winged insects. He sometimes dreamed of riding on the back of a bird and flying away to faraway places.
Yamamoto’s career as a photographer began in 1993. One of Japan’s most important living photographers, Yamamoto has taken many different approaches to photography over the past 20 years. But what has remained constant is the artist’s belief that humans are just a small part of nature, united with it and part of it. Throughout his career, Yamamoto has often returned to animals, particularly birds, as a subject, reflecting his childhood fascination with the creatures and his eternal commitment to the unity of humanity and nature. With Tori, the photographer departs on yet another artistic journey, with a new series of quietly moving animal images (tori means “bird” in Japanese). Yamamoto asks himself, and his viewers: What do we see, and what do we identify with, in birds?
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Yamamoto Masao (born 1957) trained as an oil painter before turning to photography. His portraits, landscapes and still lifes are silver prints that are delicately toned and sometimes overpainted/dyed. Among his previous publications is Small Things in Silence (RM/Seigensha, 2015). In the US, Yamamoto is represented by the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York, Jackson Fine Arts in Atlanta, Craig Krull Gallery in Los Angeles, and the Etherton Gallery in Tucson, among others.

温柔胆小 气韵生动
评分一直觉得是把东方美学做的最好的摄影师！
评分很内省的感觉，的确美而灵动，但又是某种被安静后的灵动。灵活的单页图、双页配图、被折叠的大开页、活页， 再加上页面上变动的照片大小和位置，带给手和视觉移动的灵动和节奏感还挺强，和照片的氛围和质感形成某种趣味的小对比。再加上诗歌节选，是本灵动有层次的书，可以没有更充分的时间细看感受和进一步琢磨。记住了其中引用的狄金森的一首诗节,很有韵味：“Hope” is the thing with feathers -/That perches in the soul -”
