Photobooks and Artist Publications by Hoshino Ai

Hoshino Ai is a photographer whose work focuses on Soviet-era architectural and industrial heritage across the former Eastern Bloc — bus stops, mosaics, transport vehicles, and related structures documented across Lithuania, Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and beyond. The publications collected here are softcover artist books that treat this material as both documentary record and visual inquiry.

Lokator100 currently stocks two titles from this imprint: Soviet Architectural Design and Soviet Transport. Both are softcover photobooks published under the Hoshino Ai imprint and distributed through Tokyo Kirara, an independent Japanese publisher active in the photobook and artist publication space.

These titles sit within the broader Photography & Photobooks catalogue at Lokator100, alongside other documentary and artist-led publications selected for their specificity and material clarity.
