Photo Respiration Tokihiro Sato Photographs

Photographer Tokihiro Sato (born 1957), along with contemporaries Toshio Shibata and Naoya Hatakeyama, focuses on the shifting landscape of modern Japan. Using a 8 x 10 inch camera fitted with a darkening filter, Sato creates lengthy exposures in which he moves throughout landscapes, pausing periodically with a mirror that reflects sunlight back at the camera. The light is recorded, as are traces of his presence, but he himself is rendered invisible by his motion.Sato, Tokihiro is the author of 'Photo Respiration Tokihiro Sato Photographs' with ISBN 9780865592179 and ISBN 0865592179.
