Description
The first English-language monograph on the installation artist exploring transnationalism and "wandering as a permanent position".
This is the first comprehensive monograph on Japanese artist Yukinori Yanagi (born 1959), best known for his large-scale and site-specific installations that interrogate national and transnational sovereignty, globalization and borders, as well as Japan's imperial history and nationalism. Yanagi is particularly interested in the transmission of ideology vis-à-vis signs and symbolic imagery; flags are the most frequent motif in his oeuvre.
Presenting seven series of works from throughout Yanagi's 35-year career, this project features never-before-published archival materials and artist interviews alongside large-scale reproductions and original texts by scholars Mika Yoshitake and Bert Winter-Tamaki. This comprehensive retrospective of Yanagi's work will provide a platform for English readers to engage with his politically and socially engaged practice for the first time.
