"We recollect a single experience from the past again and again. But I don't think these recollected memories are always the same. Memories are always brought out in relation to a present condition, and through this repeatable recollection of memories I believe a memory becomes influenced by - and therefore - a product of what is happening to us now.
Although the physical experience of time is singular, I believe time at a conscious level can multiply every time one recollects a memory and the different experiences of times generated by these actions pass in parallel to a physical time. By recreating those multiplying memories via a series of recollecting actions, I use them as important data that tell me about my contemporary self and its surrounding world." (© Daisuke YOKOTA)
'A curious little softbound photobook self-published by photographer Daisuke YOKOTA. The heavy black photographs appear to be reproduced on a photocopier - and the dark, grainy reproductions work well to permeate the book with mystery.
Sometimes it is hard to discern the details of the photographs but the abstraction is a welcome. The mind loves to look for distinguishable details in the darkness, occasionally finding something that reveals the contents of the photograph.
The only words printed in 'Back Yard' photo book appear on the cover - giving us no context but a title, leaving room for the viewer to attach their own meaning and understanding of what is presented." (© publisher's note, 2011)
