AKARUIMIRAI by Daisuke Matsumoto is a small signed, limited photobook from Zen Foto Gallery that turns everyday disputes, accidents and errors into a dark vision of a future that keeps repeating itself.

About AKARUIMIRAI

In AKARUIMIRAI, Japanese photographer Daisuke Matsumoto assembles a sequence of sharp, unsettling images that circle around conflict, mishap and human failure, suggesting a future in which the same mistakes are endlessly repeated. Responding to a world saturated with accidents, errors and breakdowns, his photographs oscillate between humour and cruelty, creation and destruction, as if the images themselves were constantly collapsing and rebuilding.

This compact photobook – a signed softcover edition of only 500 copies, measuring 220 × 148 mm and containing 24 pages with 16 photographs – condenses Matsumoto’s critical, punk-inflected view of contemporary society into an affordable, collectible object for lovers of Japanese photobooks and experimental art photography.

About Daisuke Matsumoto

Daisuke Matsumoto (born 1985 in Tottori, Japan) is a Tokyo-based photographer whose work mixes real-world events, everyday objects and staged scenes into dreamlike, often satirical stories that critique consumerism, politics and media culture. His first solo show SEKAINOHEIWA at Zen Foto Gallery in 2012 was followed by exhibitions and photobooks such as TSUMITOBATSU and AKARUIMIRAI, establishing him as one of the distinctive voices in contemporary Japanese photography.
