Yasuhiko Iida's photobook Thousand Fold celebrates the vibrant community of skaters and artists in London. The launch event at The Photographer's Gallery drew an enthusiastic crowd, reflecting the book's focus on connection and shared experiences. Using a run-and-gun film camera style, Iida presents a raw and nostalgic portrayal of urban life. The photographs feature timeless elements, including long-haired skaters and cultural references that evoke past decades. Through music and personal reflection, Iida captures moments that resonate deeply, creating an atmospheric and chaotic representation of contemporary London.
The purpose of my photography is so I can remember it 50 years later. Photography is my wordless diary.
Long haired skaters and The Smashing Pumpkins posters are rendered through the timelessness of film photography.
The beams of the setting sun are caught in a stream of urine, all whilst the city looms in the background.
I listen to music, go into my mind, create my own feeling then start taking photos.
