"Yuka Hirac likes to render perceptions malleable through her photography, bookmaking, and multidisciplinary practices, initially starting up in London studying makeup. "Whether it's skin covered in makeup, or a photograph printed on paper, I'm interested in moments when perception fluctuates slightly through layering, creating moments of both uneasiness and beauty," she tells It's Nice That. Building on her previous diary books, Metabolism and My creation rubbish, her fourth diary book jajaja... 瞑想散歩 tightens into a bold approach"
"Building on her previous diary books, Metabolism and My creation rubbish, her fourth diary book jajaja... 瞑想散歩 tightens into a bold approach and applies a haunting futurism utilising retro-style type, outlined in vibrant and contrasting yellow and red - reminiscent of internet-cafe shop signage. Her collages cover the pages and are outlined like overlapping desktop windows, creating what seems like a chaotic homage to early-internet social media and web design."
Yuka Hirac renders perceptions malleable through photography, bookmaking and multidisciplinary practices, with origins in makeup study in London. She focuses on layered surfaces—skin, printed photographs—that shift perception to produce both uneasiness and beauty. The fourth diary book, jajaja... 瞑想散歩, builds on earlier diary projects Metabolism and My creation rubbish and adopts a bold, haunting futurism. The book employs retro-style typography in vibrant yellow and red, evoking internet-cafe signage. Page-spanning collages are arranged like overlapping desktop windows to form a chaotic homage to early-internet social media and web design, balancing contrast and nostalgia to destabilize straightforward readings.
