OTOKO 6X
OTOKO is the japanese word for „man“. It contains both initials T for T horben and K for K remers. The japanese culture had a strong impact on OTOKO’s photographic style.
Having bought his first professional camera at the age of 16, learning the ART of photography in an autodidactical way, OTOKO was blessed with eyesight, and an indexfinger to release the shutter button at the very moment, capturing moments, feelings, moods,... to make them last forever.
Coming from a very ARTistical family background, OTOKO’s photos mainly show clean & simple structures with straight lines. Being an analyst OTOKO tends to have an eye for patterns and structures which might not be distinguishable at first sight.
OTOKO is a freelance photographer holding a Bachelor of Arts degree and is based in Stuttgart, Germany.

entry description
This is a self-portrait which happened during the visit of the Shanghai Power Station of Art. The installation of Zhang Ding showed 30 walls with phones on it. One could pick up the phone and each of them had various sounds that where played though the receiver. There were poems, traditional chinese music, noises etc. The idea behind the self-portrait was, to show the variety of 6 exemplary listeners listening each to different things.about the photographer
