写真を中心とした作品を発表してきた吉田和貴の新作は、写真に加え、言葉、音声、行為など、さまざまな要素から構成されるインスタレーションです。文字ひとつひとつと画像データのピクセルを対応させたり、彼がここ数年行ってきた、ポッドキャスティングによるラジオ放送を流したり、あるいはギャラリーからの風景を組み込んだりと、一見するとそれはとりとめもなく、散らかった印象を与えます。けれども、おそらく世界はそうしたものに他ならないはずだ。私たちが日々生産する無数の取るに足らない断片たち。その中にこそ、世界は息づいている。頼りなげな方法論を通して吉田が立ち上げるものの背後には、世界に対するある種の確信が横たわっています。

The most current work by Kazutaka Yoshida, who has mainly exhibited photographic works in the past, is an installation that is composed of various elements aside from photos, including words, sounds and actions. At first glance, his works give viewers an incoherent and disorderly impression, due to several factors: his photographs work which combined of each individual text in his work with the pixels of digital image data; his radio broadcasts done via Podcasting, in a gallery, which he has utilized for the last few years; and his incorporation of actual spectacle that can be seen from the gallery. However, the world is in fact made up of such incoherent elements. When we talk of the innumerous, insignificant fragments that we produce on a daily basis, we realize that the world exists within those fragments. Behind the world that Yoshida manifests through the utilization of his unstable methodology exists his conviction toward the world.
