Naoya Hatakeyama

Limestone landscapes and architecture reminiscent of lunar surfaces and prehistoric scenes; a vertical progression from the air down into the depths of a city sewer system; detonations in quarries. The architecturally and archeologically motivated photographic works of Naoya Hatakeyama explore these constructions and others, in serial works that display a rigor and overall consistency, dealing alternately with horizontal and vertical principles. This publication is the first comprehensive monograph devoted to Hatakeyama, covering all of his serial works as well as his most recent projects, realized in England.
