Yukihito Kono
Born in 1989, Kono lives in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. In 2011, he moved to the UK and completed his Master's in Fine Art Photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. Kono has released numerous artist books and installation works to date, with the main theme of exploring and reconstructing the function of images in society. Having studied literature and art in different places, his work is formed through delicate selection and bold acceptance of chance, and while rooted in the tradition of photography, it is open to contemplation that transcends the boundaries of genre and era. In 2017, he opened his own studio, gallery, and bookshop, IACK, in Kanazawa, based on the concept of an "open study." He seeks and practices a new image of a photographer who works seamlessly with photography as the axis.
