Satoki Nagata is a Chicago-based photographer. Born and raised in Japan, Satoki Nagata first came to the states as a research scientist. After ten successful years in the field of neuroscience, Satoki recognized the connective limitations of scientific practice. He soon thereafter reallocated his professional focus. Satoki’s visual productions are contextualized by the precision of scientific process. His understandings of Japanese Zen philosophies manifest through the interconnected relations depicted within his images. “Lights in Chicago” has been recognized internationally and exhibited in Asia, the US, and Europe.

Lights In Chicago
The feelings, lives, and heartbeats of Chicago—captured in photographic media. Through my manipulations of light and shadow, with off camera flash methods, temporal moments become dense structures. Surreal abstraction allows for multidirectional story lines, and interaction between photographer, subject, and viewer.
