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.
