Tokuyo Yamada, Hair Designer, Shinbiyo Shuppan Co., Ltd., Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, April 14, 1993 (R)
1997
This meticulously crafted dye transfer print by Christopher Williams depicts Tokuyo Yamada, a hair designer, captured in the professional context of Shinbiyo Shuppan Co., Ltd. in Tokyo's Minami-Aoyama district. Williams employs the technically demanding and richly saturated dye transfer process to create an image that blurs the boundaries between commercial photography and fine art. The work reflects the artist's ongoing conceptual investigation into systems of representation, labor, and the aesthetics of professional image-making.
