Photographing the relationship between humans and the natural world has been Yasuyuki Takagi's theme for some twenty-five years. A city boy always drawn to nature yet feeling it foreign, he was changed by six months living in Brazil and the Amazon, then by the abandoned lots and community gardens of New York where plants reclaim the urban jungle. In the back alleys of Tokyo, where he grew up and still lives, rows of potted plants tended by enthusiasts and neighbours bring gardens and green into the street — a 'nature made by people'. Imagining a viewer a hundred years from now, he believes this free-spirited, communal way of sharing nature, always at risk of being swept away by development, deserves to be left as a record.
