The Vestiges of the Unseen Shiho YOSHIDA

BUG, operated by Recruit Holdings, is pleased to present Shiho Yoshida’s solo exhibition, The Vestiges of the Unseen, starting October 30th, 2024.
Yoshida has created unique visual landscapes through both photographic works that traverse the analog and digital, and installations that encompass entire spaces. The photographer’s numerous accolades include the 11th 1_WALL Grand Prize (2014), selection for the 11th shiseido art egg award (2017), being a finalist for the Prix Pictet Japan Award (2017), and receiving the 46th Kimura Ihei Award (2020–2021).

In this exhibition, Yoshida presents new works that employ a vastly different approach from her previous methods. The artist, who previously performed the process of developing, printing, and layering images by hand, now employs the offset printing press to replicate images in large quantities, which she uses to create a spatial composition.
In photography and printing, it is often the machine that finally makes images visible to us. At times, machines produce results that stray from what is originally intended by humans, revealing aspects that are not perceptible to the naked eye. Through her exploration of invisible entities and by flooding the space with images, Yoshida aims to bring these intangible elements to light.
Working with machines and embracing their potential for unexpected errors, how might images become distorted and what new forms might emerge? In a time when we are continually surrounded by images, this exhibition seeks to rethink the concepts of visibility and invisibility, exploring the boundaries between the two.
