Yoshiko Sato is a Japanese artist working in London. Sato's work is notable for the fact that she always casts herself as subject. Originally working in sculpture and performance, her recent work has become more photographic in nature. Sato is concerned with female and male sexuality, the self, objectification, fantasy and the sexual commodity. Her work is confrontational and teasing, for example previously selling her phone number or a rendezvous. For this show Sato has turned as she has previously to the sex card. By forming her work from an abundance of cards where she models and photographs herself Sato asks 'for a new owner who'll look after her properly' or guarantees 'a mind blowing blow job'. Her work is erotic and directly sexual as she cannily emphasises the desires of the viewer, who is caught without confirmation between fantasy and reality.
