山本昌男是具有国际影响的日本摄影家之一。1957年出生于日本爱知县。

山本昌男最初学习油画，80年代开始出现在摄影界。他以小帧照片闻名于世，追求每张摄影作品本省的生命力。他模糊了摄影和油画之间的界限，有时在照片上画画、染上颜色或茶水，或撕开照片。他的拍摄主题包括静物、人体、风景。他甚至创作装置作品，用小幅照片来说明每个碎片是如何成为巨大得多的现实的一部分。

山本昌男富有禅意的作品 和生活方式都弥漫着东方特有的哲学和美学气息。虽然成名后在世界各地频繁展览，他仍可以在富士山下过着静谧的生活。

山本昌男本次展览作品拍摄的，是他生活的日常细节和山中风景，是其真实生活的碎片。表现一种超越时间性、意义性的“空”。展览现场还将体现其作品中贯穿的“空”、“无”的概念。

Masao Yamamoto is one of the most internationally influential Japanese photographers. He was born in 1957 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Yamamoto initially studied oil painting, but he entered the world of photography in the 1980s. He is world-famous for his small-scale photographs and he attempts to give each photograph a life of its own. He blurs the line between photograph and oil painting; sometimes he paints on the photographs, stains them with dye or tea, or tears them. He often photographs subjects such as still life, the human body, and landscapes. He has even produced installations, using small photographs to show how each fragment composes part of much larger reality.

Yamamoto’s meditative life and work spread a uniquely Eastern philosophical and aesthetic air. Although he has had many exhibitions all over the world since his rise to frame, he still lives peaceful life at the base of Mount Fuji.

This exhibition of Masao Yamamoto’s work features the everyday details of his life and mountainous landscapes; they are fragments of real life. They express an “emptiness” that transcends time and meaning. The works exhibited will penetrate the concepts of “emptiness” and “nothing”.
