#356 Palm, 1997 — by Tokihiro Sato

An exhibit of photographs by Tokihiro Sato is on display at the Haines Gallery in San Francisco from September 2 – October 23, 2010. The exhibit was previously shown at Tonkonow in New York, and reviewed by DLK Collection. Sato uses an 8×10 view camera to make exposures that are often measured in hours, during which he adds light, often by reflecting the sun back into the camera with a mirror. Unfortunately the previously inexpensive slim monograph Photo Respirations has gone out of print, and is now upwards of $100. A number of journals featuring Sato’s work are available through Abe Books.
