Jinn Yagi | Artist & Photographer

Born in Kyoto, Jinn Yagi holds a Master of Arts degree from Middlesex University in London, where he completed postgraduate studies in Interactive Design & Media. He is a member of the Japan Photographers Association. Since holding his first solo exhibition in 2005, he will mark the 20th anniversary of his artistic career in 2025.

In September 2024, he held a solo exhibition for over a month at THE IW GALLERY in Brooklyn, New York, curated by Vida Sabbaghi.

Yagi’s practice begins with photography and extends across sculpture, video, and installation, as he continues to question the fundamental nature of “seeing” in contemporary life. His work explores the boundaries between landscape and memory, the individual and society, and especially the invisible yet emotionally charged barriers—like the acrylic partitions placed between people during the COVID-19 pandemic—that symbolize the unspoken weight of language and presence. Through such inquiries, he seeks to expand the boundaries of photography as a traditionally two-dimensional medium.
Influenced by his mother, a sculptor, Yagi has in recent years focused on three-dimensional forms using lightweight materials such as Styrofoam. His works are characterized by spatial dynamism and a sensitivity to the subtle “figures” that emerge between photography and sculpture. Through these forms, he aims to visualize the fragility of human emotion and the shifting nature of our environments.
