• Hitomi Kai Yoda is strongly drawn to power relations, control, authority and transactions, especially in relation to ‘the image’. Yoda’s awareness of these factors stems from his childhood experiences of a hybrid culture, at home, at school and in society.


  Through Yoda’s practice, he attempts to challenge constructs of both the authoritarian and unauthoritarian. The form taken is a process of the mutual connections and influence between them both, as well as considering wider social realities.
