I am Sato Kam. I use photography as main medium to explore various themes such as identity, social transformation and self-preservation. I use mainly digital, but 35mm film as well, and draw my ideas from all sources, sometimes mixing everything in a post-photographic approach, using AI tools.
My photographs are spurred by seeking shadows, graphic elements, movements of bodies to oppose "what's inside" with "what's outside". I am working from both intuition and story telling, on streets and in my studio, based in Montreal. I explore creation avenues, at the crossroad of experimental sociologizing, conceptual, portraiture and street reportage.
Unveiling the peculiar and the awkward to make them more accessible and intelligible is a joy. Be close. Be inside. See outside.
Above all, I am stubbornly seeking to express what my conscious mind has not yet organized.
