Description

This work is composed of a sampling of hashtags, icons, etc. used in social networking sites that have become commonplace in today's society. Is this social networking as a new type of communication? Or is it simply "social media"? The images in the work can be seen as an embodiment of the "new society" or "new generation" that seems to be permeating the world we live in. The theme of this work is an exploration of new social communication or communication systems created through social networking platforms. It is a symbol of how social network society has brought us together and created a new and exciting world. The background, which is actually HTML code used on Instagram and represented as a wall surface, appears to be in a state of decay created by the consumption of media culture. It is a reminder of how the wall surface is decaying and fading away. The image reflects the current state of the world today.

Concept

Taro Yakumo presents works that recall the refrains of 1980s and 1990s American pop art, offering an alternative expression of pop art. His art delves into the nature of consumption and mass culture. In an era of mass production and consumption, individuals are surrounded by an abundance of products and information, and their identities and values are shaped by their intimate relationship with this rapidly evolving consumer society.

In today's society, where information and images are overwhelming, Yakumo Taro aims to create new visual experiences. Through social commentary, political messages, playfulness, and humor, he offers a comical perspective that prompts us to contemplate human existence.

Furthermore, by incorporating motifs that symbolize nations and commercialism, his works satirize power structures, the nature of commercialism, and human desires within consumer society.
