Kansuke Yamamoto, My Thin-Aired Room, 1956
.
Kansuke Yamamoto who had become acquainted with Surrealism through magazines such as
ciné and Shi to Touron (Poetry and Debate) as well as having the opportunity to encounter the
works of Jean Arp, Hans Bellmer, and Man Ray from a young age, references Rene Magritte’s
 L’homme au journal (Man with a Newspaper) (1928), within his work “My Thin-aired Room.”
The work comprises of four images that narratively convey the evaporation of his very own
 existence within the context of a thin-aired room. The work is not a mere imitation, but is that
which in itself essentially represents Yamamoto’s practice during the 1950s, of depicting his
 very own experimental spirit through means of photography. (…)

to be exactly the same, apart from the disappearance of the man reading the newspaper. There are
 slight changes of perspective between the four panels. This can be seen by focusing on the view
out of the windows. (…)
