Literature
In 2015, when Yamatani became a father for the first time, his photography recorded the commencement of this new phase of his life less literally. Into the Light (2017) was inspired by lonely walks around his neighbourhood in the middle of the night, having been woken by the baby. A dawning domestic sensibility made Yamatani curious about the lives of others taking place in the dark homes around him, and he began to experiment with infrared photography and its penetrative connotations.
