text Correspondences is the title of the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition that is presented in Florence on the occasion of Pitti Immagine Uomo n. 67.

The exhibition, art directed by Yohji Yamamoto’s long time collaborator Masao Nihei, is characterized by opulent simplicity. The clothes, shown on Stockman forms, blend with the Gallery’s permanent collection. Standing free of showcases, the garments can be admired and touched, allowing viewers to appreciate their absolute beauty, the quality of the materials and perfect design. A dialogue is created by the placement of the garments and the artwork; hinting at hypothetical encounters; seeking eye contact with the observer. The subtle light dominating the exhibition is broken by sudden, harsh flashes.
