The focus of Yokomizo’s photography and video-work is the gap between self and other.
In the Stranger series, each photograph shows someone looking out through a window. The artist has never met any of these people. She selected their addresses and then wrote a letter asking if they would stand at a particular window, alone, with the room lights on, at a specific time of night so that she could photograph them from the street. The artist simply promised to be there waiting, at a particular time. The encounter would last for ten minutes, with eye-to-eye contact, but then nothing else was to be exchanged.
