artist kimiko yoshida left japan and based herself in paris where she has been continually exploring gender
and the body through her on going series of self-protraits. these large sqaure photographs depict the artist in
a series of poses and costumes, each with a mostly monochromatic colour theme. yoshida ‘s monochrome
approach is described as a ‘disappearance’. as she describes ‘art is a subtle process of transposition,
an assiduous struggle with the state of things. to be there where I think I am not, to disappear where I think
I am, that is what matters.’ in each work yoshida is outfitted with a series of accessories, often haute couture
designs created by paco rabanne. furthermore, the works and titles are often created with a view of art history
in mind. yoshida’s self-portraits are currently on show in the exhibition ‘la ou je ne suis pas’ running until
october 31st at la maison europeene de la photographie in paris.
