Naka-ima - Yasutaka Kojima

Photographer Yasutaka Kojima explores Berlin's urban landscape through black and white imagery, capturing metropolitan structures and textures that reveal the city's layered character. His work meditates on the concept of "present" through photography, examining how cities embody both physical construction and subconscious human intention. Having lived and worked across Tokyo, New York, and Berlin, Kojima develops a distinct visual language for each metropolis. His photographs accumulate fragments of urban surfaces—architectural details, weathered textures, spatial relationships—that reflect the desires and collective consciousness embedded within city spaces. Each image becomes a meditation on how we inhabit and perceive the contemporary urban environment.
