Background information
"A hallucinatory night walk in the outskirts of Tokyo, where sleepy suburbia emerges as dreamscape. Could this be the backdrop for a nocturnal crime scene, or a tale of irretrievable loss? The camera of Daisuke YOKOTA staggers around, resulting in a stream of images of trees, parked cars, and forlorn buildings.
Content
For the photo essay 'Outskirts', Daisuke YOKOTA shot his haunting images on color film before inverting the colors and changing them to a monochrome palette. He unpretentiously traverses the boundaries between the digital and the analogue, overdeveloping film, re-photographing images, and distorting them with heat, dust, or acid. That dynamic process is permeated by the spectral qualities of the medium." (© Alauda, 2017)
