Katsuhiro Yamaguchi 山口勝弘
Vitrine: Giraffe 玻璃燈箱：長頸鹿
1958
Katsuhiro Yamaguchi was a leading member of the Experimental Workshop (Jikken Kobo), an art collective that embraced new materials and technologies in post-war Japan. The group’s activities marked an important moment in the development of new media practices in the 1950s. Yamaguchi began his pioneering Vitrine series in 1952, producing light sculptures informed by his interests in kinetic art and perception. Framed in a wooden box, Vitrine: Giraffe is one of the largest works in this series. Yamaguchi worked with patterned opaque glass plates to explore the creative potential of this material, turning the plates into an expressive image of giraffes.
