Les us et coutumes de ce village se transmettent de génération en génération…
J’ai voulu exprimer ce souffle ancestral sous une forme artistique.
Je décidais de réaliser des œuvres uniques, en ajoutant de la couleur sur mes photographies et en utilisant quelques additifs chimiques. Ces procédés créatifs originaux relèvent à la fois de la physique et de mon intuition. De la sorte, j’ai essayé de fusionner l’esprit de nos aïeux, la nature environnante ainsi que la réalité du monde matériel, tout en impliquant ma propre personnalité.
La recherche de matière, de texture, de sensation, de lumière et d'obscurité permet de mettre en valeur la taille et le sujet de la composition. Un mélange magique d’odeurs, de touchers, de salissures, de l’effet des impressions numériques… Et de la sorte apparaît, au moment merveilleux de la sortie de l’image, une réalisation approximative, surprenante et puissante, qui se transforme en une œuvre d’art achevée.

Sur le territoire du Japon, les zones appelées « Kaso » (dépeuplement) s’étendent avec rapidité. Nanmoku dans la préfecture de Gunma, est l’un des villages implantés sur ces zones. Dès l’époque Muromachi (1336-1573), ce fut un lieu d’activité, mais depuis une trentaine d’années, il est en train de disparaître. En trente ans, les commerces de proximité ont déjà quasiment disparu. On peut y déceler les traces des tentatives de revitalisation, mais celles-ci semblent avoir échouées.
Les alentours sont composés de montagnes rocheuses abruptes et de gorges profondes. Les terrains agricoles ont pu se développer à partir de la construction de murs de pierres. La sériciculture et la production de la pierre à aiguiser étaient les industries principales. Ces dernières ont connu leur apogée jusqu'en 1965 (l’an 40 de l’ère Showa).
Ce à quoi peut s’employer à présent un photographe, c’est de conserver la mémoire de ce lieu grâce à l’image.

Yasuo Kiyonaga is an artist and photographer who translates in a surreal way the phenomena of all universes such as nature, mountain villages, cities and human beings. Captured by his viewfinder, the subjects are first deconstructed, then given new forms before the meaning of their existence is revealed by Kiyonaga. The artist breaks through the conventional notion of “photography”. He uses his unique technique to reconcile seemingly incompatible phenomena: photography and painting, nature and artifice, the two- and three-dimensional, past and future or even dream and reality, until he achieves the sublimation of his art.
Yasuo Kiyonaga was born in 1948 in Kagawa prefecture in Japan. His activities are based in Tokyo, Kyoto and Paris. He decided to take up photography in 1966, influenced by Jean-Eugène Atget and Aaron Siskind. After graduating from photography school in 1970, he joined Recruit Co., then in 1980, he founded SHC, which is today a leader in this sector.
While having remained in the world of photojournalism for a long time, Kiyonaga undertakes new challenges at the cutting edge of progress within corporate communication. His own points of view, observations, conceptions and judgments nourished by various experiences are the source of his current creative activities.
Kiyonaga has seriously resumed his artistic activities since 1995. He is also a gallery owner: he has opened several galleries in order to present Japanese and foreign photographers and to exhibit his own work there. He is also the author of several photo books: Leslie (1999), Spirit of Forest (2007), Paris Sketch (2012), The Japanese Beautiful Landscapes series (2008-), Japanese Tools (2015), Ujô Senses of Rain ( 2016).
