Selected images. 1978. 4 vintage gelatin silver prints on Agfa paper, mounted in photo corners to black paper. Each ca. 27 x 18 cm (mounts ca. 30,2 x 23,8 cm). Each signed, and two dated, by the photographer in pencil below the image on the mount.

The Japanese photographer Gasho Yamamura developed a distinctive and highly poetic photographic language, often using extreme viewpoints and unconventional framing to produce images of striking, sometimes surreal intensity. His career was sadly cut short when he took his own life at the age of 47.
