About the artist:
Shingo YOSHIDA is at home all over the world. From Japan to Slovenia, from Berlin to Iceland, from Kuala Lumpur to São Paulo, he is constantly drawn around the globe. He often goes to nature, to untouched areas or to landscapes inhabited by traditional cultures, to get the possibility of catching a glimpse of the actual life of the people with their natural environment. With film and photo camera, he traces legends, myths and hidden places, meets people for whose cultures, ideas and visions he is enthusiastic. The search for the self is of particular importance.
This photo-collage-edition belongs to the project:
"頂上 - The Summit"
"On August 20th , Shōwa 49 (1974), a stone tablet inscribed with a haiku was set atop Mt. Fuji. This was my father’s near-reckless project, to fulfil the dream of my grandfather who was a haiku poet, —to bring a stone tablet to Kengamine next to the observatory on Mt. Fuji, the highest peak of Japan worshipped as its symbol from ancient times."
