Remo in San Francisco - I was invited to create my shark Outline project out front of White Wall Gallery San Francisco. They also have the same name as my studio, what a coincidence  :) Here is a short video of the event made by my friend, Spencer.

Inside Out Project Tokyo at Tokyo Designers Week

The Inside Out Project Tokyo team spent the day yesterday setting up a 100 meter wall at the tent exhibition space for Tokyo Designers Week, Nov 2011. Inside Out Project Tokyo consisting of myself, Genevieve Tran, Maya Reyes, Patrick Newell and some of the photo subjects went down to TDW to set up the exhibit, to be displayed through the first week of November. The tent exhibition was conceived by myself and Florian Busch for TDW, Architect and designer of this years site, with the idea of using the existing negative space of the building to hang art on, instead of leaving it a blank area. Deciding that this was a great use of the space we proposed the Inside Out Project Tokyo in conjunction with Tedx to the Design Association of TDW, to hang the works from 2011 in this space. Photography works by myself (Remo Camerota), Maya Reyes and Genevieve Tran and video work by myself and Maya are on display now until Nov 5... If you are in town, check it out.

GRAFFITI JAPAN on Tokyo Japan Times

Before Drainspotting, I photographed Graffiti Japan, which was my first book published by Mark Batty Publisher New York. It is a study of Graffiti art and Artists from around Japan. Japan has long been a breeding ground for innovative approaches to Western traditions. But, the fanatical embrace with which Japanese artists have welcomed graffiti has made for a form of graffiti wholly apart from its Western origins. Graffiti Japan captures the culturally unique aspects of Japanese street art, providing a most complete look at Japan’s contemporary graffiti scene up until 2009.

I could never have guessed that this first, on-a-whim trip to Japan would result to me moving to Tokyo and befriending the scene’s most prolific and talented artists. The more time I spent with them traveling from city to city, meeting local luminaries, the more photographs I took, the more excited the artists became about helping me delve deeper.

Interviews with KRESS, BELX2, FATE, TENGA, EMAR, SUIKO, QP,SHIZENTOMOTEL, PHIL and many more reveal how these artists define their work as specifically Japanese, musing on everything from replicating the calligraphic intricacies of the Japanese language with spray paint, to foreign influences and national pride. Every single photograph in Graffiti Japan was shot in Japan, featuring anime and manga characters, kanji, sprawling legal murals and illegal hidden spots, all of which comprise this spectacular scene that could not exist in any other country.

You can find the book on Amazon and check out the websites and blogs here.

Graffiti Japan will be coming to IPAD soon.
