Highlighted 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.

Highlighted Item

A range of expressions and emotions permeate the pages as you gradually enter Osamu Yokonami's (b. 1967, Japanese) continuing exploration of primal instincts. The children glance at you. They unknowingly confront you with their personalities that subtly emanate faced with the challenge of holding onto a fruit or vegetable balancing between chin and shoulder — themselves placed within the ever transitioning clouds.

Frowning in menace or softly smiling, distanced from civilisation, they patiently wait to be depicted closest to their most natural state.
