Room/monitor
Room/monitor is a self-published book developed as part of a commissioned assignment for the magazine Vostok No.2 “Violence,” to photograph Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Fall/Winter 2019. Wearing the garments himself while taking the photographs, Yokota transformed the editorial context into a highly personal investigation of identity and perception.
Screens, reflections and spatial fragmentation structure the series. The image is repeatedly mediated, interrupted and reframed, creating a layered and sometimes disorienting visual experience. Rather than documenting fashion, Room/monitor examines the relationship between body, camera and environment. The result is a psychologically charged body of work in which the boundaries between observer and subject, performance and documentation, are deliberately blurred.
