Takamoto Yamauchi’s latest book “Vortex” was created during several journeys within Japan and overseas and is a dark trip into the depths of the human psyche. Selected from over 30,000 photographs, Yamauchi’s “Vortex” slowly came into being during the author’s year-long correspondence with Daido Moriyama. The result is a dizzying book that transcends genres and engages in metaphors and narrative subtlety to explore Yamauchi’s interests in the black parts of the human psyche.
