Go Itami - this year's model, Rondade, 2014, Tokyo

 

Hardcover with translucent hard plastic boards, design by Shin Akiyama + Genki Abe / edition.nord, edition of 800 copies.

Go Itami’s works have examined what it means to “look” at the everyday landscape through the two-dimensional medium of photography and have attempted to expand the medium’s potential by exploring the concepts of vision and visuality. In his previous work study, he carefully observed the world and meticulously selected photographs from a vast pool of images. He also explored the potential of photography by considering various methods of presentation and combinations of images. His latest work, “This Year’s Model”, is a culmination of his thinking about photography in recent years. Taking on the entire gallery space, by incorporating its furniture, fixtures, and photo books into the exhibition, Itami here attempts to reconstruct the photographic image and extend his method of layering and composition beyond a single frame into the space of presentation.
