Yakushima Blues was made by the Argentine photographer Mauro Mongiello in 2018, during an artistic residency on the Japanese island of Yakushima. Kept as a photographic diary, it records his passage through the island, its places and some of the people who live there and who tell, with their gaze, about the particular place they inhabit. Natural settings and man-made elements alternate across the volume.
