Biography
- 1930 : Birth with Nagoya.
Tomatsu worked as photographer during more than 50 years. Its images stick to the topic of freedom, often while slipping of a subject to another without respecting the conventional categories; it often passes from most serious to humorous to return to the serious one; it désacralise or celebrates very with turn the symbols of Japan. He likes to say that its contemporaries do not have the means of accepting anything, because they saw violence and collapses too much. He often makes use of the simplest topics and hardest, like waste, the skin, the wounds, the sunlight…
His/her friend photographer Daidō Moriyama qualified his method of “remarkable tenacity”.
