HIROKAZU AKEMORI
Still life

Time exists as a continuum of information.
Photography reveals unseen layers of change, recording the shifting life of flowers as equal traces of time.
A gaze that captures what lies beneath consciousness carries a quiet sensibility toward what fades.
To photograph is not merely to document, but to gently reveal the beauty held within layered time.

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).
