Windows of the World

Erika YOSHINO

Publisher: PAISLEY BOOKS

In "Windows of the World," Japanese photographer Erika Yoshino presents a sophisticated body of work composed of fragments of everyday life. Through photographs of reflections in mirrors and subtle details and gestures – individual steps on a staircase, a blinding flash of light seen through the canopy of trees, a curtain blowing in the breeze – Yoshino builds a world somewhere between illusion and reality. Though soft and gentle in appearance, Yoshino's series is motivated by the ever-increasing complexity and ambiguous boundaries between the individual and the surrounding world.

“‘The Windows of the World’ is the title of a song by American singer Dionne Warwick, produced by lyricist Hal David and composer Burt Bacharach in 1967.
The song uses koto-like stringed instruments and finger cymbals to create a dewy and deep tune that evokes the sound of raindrops hitting a window […]
The narrative occurring within mirrors reflecting a moment that disappears in the blink of an eye seems to question essential things through the difference in people’s attitudes towards the world.
The scene seen through the viewfinder is a window for me to know the world.
I wish for windows and the windows of the world to be filled with prismatic light.”
― from Erika Yoshino’s afterword

In addition to Erika Yoshino’s afterword, “Windows of the World” also includes an essay by Osamu Ueno. All text in Japanese & English.
