Seen all together, the neutral expressions on the faces of a thousand children captured by Yokonami begin to betray their underlying emotions, and the near-identical composition of each photo unmasks the vibrant individuality inherent in each child.
Now compiled in a beautiful book, Yokonami invites one and all to enjoy this ambitious exhibit featuring motion picture and installation art. Published by Antenne Books.
