HIROKAZU AKEMORI
Still life

Photography is a medium that not only captures a moment, but also reflects layers of time.

Sequences of moments intersect and take shape on different axes.
The time that flows in the movement of plants dwells in the gaps that cannot be captured by the naked eye.
Things may appear to be still, but they always contain change.
The changes that are woven into the fabric of time are accumulated in a single moment and emerge as a multilayered entity.

Photographs are not mere records; they also contain invisible phenomena and processes and bring them to the surface.
The passage of time, the transience of an object's existence, and the myriad changes that lie behind it are simultaneously recorded in the photograph.
The overlapping fragments of time create new perspectives.

Author
Born in 1980 in Saitama, Japan. Akemori Hirokazu is an artist who explores time as the accumulation of visual information through still-life and portrait-based works. His practice investigates the subtle transformations and temporal layers hidden within seemingly static subjects, while reflecting on the nature of perception and temporality in the photographic medium. Drawing inspiration from Western art history and iconography, he examines the intersection of painting and photography as visual arts. He graduated from Sakado College of Hairdressing and Beauty (2001) and Kyoto University of the Arts, Photography Course (Distance Learning Program, 2025). Recent exhibitions include Visual Echoes (Tokyo, 2024), New Generation Photography (Nikon Plaza THE GALLERY, Tokyo & Osaka, 2025), and Intersections of Painting and Photography — Exploring Shared Qualities in Visual Art (KG＋ 2025, NEUTRAL horikawa, Kyoto).
