Following the success of its Paris exhibition, the Galerie Pièce Unique will present at Paris Photo Los Angeles the Hiroyuki Masuyama solo show, Cava de’ Tirreni.
Masuyama has long maintained a strong connection to nature and its changes over time. Now he has found this movement in the dimension of travel, a mainstay of all his projects. At the end of the 1990s, Masuyama created a superimposed montage of the parks of Düsseldord, where he lived, made with a panoramic camera, which he used to take a photo per day with a single difference in degree. The result was a stratigraphy of 365 views. The conceptual aspect of this approach was apparent. From 2002 to 2007, he devoted himself to examining the relationship between aerial transport and time by superimposing hundreds of photographs taken every 20 second during an intercontinental voyage, which were then used in monumental panoramas.
Hiroyuki Masuyama (b. 1968 in Tsukuba, Japan) is now based in Düsseldorf and Japan.
