About this work

In 'Beneath the Metropolis' Urban Skin', Akira Yamato invites viewers to peer into the previously unseen world of urban decay and rebirth. Through a series of photographs and mixed-media installations, Yamato captures the intricate beauty of abandoned buildings, their peeling facades and crumbling structures. By doing so, he questions the relationship between urban development and the natural world, as well as the role of human activity in shaping our environment. As viewers navigate the exhibition, they will be immersed in a world of contrasts, where the old and the new, the beautiful and the decaying, coexist in a delicate balance.
