By repeatedly destroying and transforming negatives and prints through reproduction and thermal processing, he pushes the materiality of photography to an excessive degree, while confronting the contradiction that photographs and printed matter ultimately remain flat. The project also considers the data contained within immaterial digital photographs—something that undeniably exists yet has no physical substance. Through these concerns, \u003ci\u003eMatter\u003c\/i\u003e has become a landmark series that expands the possibilities of photography in the contemporary era, as well as those of the artist’s book and photobook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach copy differs in its printing methods, format, and contents, bringing together photographs made by Yokota across different periods of his practice as a one-of-a-kind work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTitle: \u003ci\u003eMatter 2024\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Daisuke Yokota\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Self-published, 2024\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover with dust jacket, saddle stitched\u003cbr\u003eSize: 205 × 295 mm\u003cbr\u003ePages: Approx. 320\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: n\/a\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Unique, signed by the artist\u003cbr\u003eISBN: n\/a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease note that the images shown are for reference only.
