Author: Yanagi, YukinoriThis is the first comprehensive monograph on Japanese artist Yukinori Yanagi, best known for his large-scale and site-specific installations that interrogat e national and transnational sovereignty, globalisation and borders, as well as Japan’s imperial history and nationalism. Presenting seven series of works from throughout Yanagi’s 35-year career, this project features never-before-published archival materials and artist interviews alongside large-scale reproductions and original texts.Yanagi is particularly interested in the transmission of ideology vis-à-vis signs and symbolic imagery; flags are the most frequent motif in his oeuvre. This comprehensive retrospective of Yanagi’s work will provide a platform for English readers to engage with his politically and socially engaged practice for the first time. ISBN 9780998736044.
