Back Yard explores intimate domestic spaces through a nuanced photographic perspective, revealing layers of texture and shadow within everyday environments. Daisuke Yokota’s images often merge abstraction with figuration, creating visual tension and ambiguity.
The 50-page work from 2012 captures the quiet stillness and fragmented details of private outdoor scenes, suggesting both presence and absence through a delicate use of light and grain. Yokota’s approach invites close scrutiny of overlooked, familiar places, transforming them into evocative studies of space and memory.
