Tokihiro Satō (佐藤 時啓, Satō Tokihiro, born 1957) is a Japanesephotographer and educator. Sato is best known for his unusual expressions of light and space and interpretations of performance and dance.
Tokihiro Sato was born on September 14, 1957, in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Receiving his MFA and BFA degrees in Music and Fine Arts from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1981, Sato was originally a trained sculptor, but decided to go with photography to better communicate his ideas.
Recognised for his playful interaction of light, Sato uses a large-format camera for exposures that last from one to three hours, while he moves around the space creating illuminated lines drawn with flashlights. The results are detailed photographs interrupted by patterns of light.[1] And because of the long exposures, Sato’s movements across the scene remain undetectable by the camera; the photograph captures his presence but not his image.
