Born in 1980 in Saitama, Japan. Akemori Hirokazu is an artist who explores time as the accumulation of visual information through still-life and portrait-based works. His practice investigates the subtle transformations and temporal layers hidden within seemingly static subjects, while reflecting on the nature of perception and temporality in the photographic medium. Drawing inspiration from Western art history and iconography, he examines the intersection of painting and photography as visual arts. He graduated from Sakado College of Hairdressing and Beauty (2001) and Kyoto University of the Arts, Photography Course (Distance Learning Program, 2025). Recent exhibitions include Visual Echoes (Tokyo, 2024), New Generation Photography (Nikon Plaza THE GALLERY, Tokyo & Osaka, 2025), and Intersections of Painting and Photography — Exploring Shared Qualities in Visual Art (KG＋ 2025, NEUTRAL horikawa, Kyoto).
