Daisuke Yokota, a Japanese photographer born in Saitama in 1983, has been named the winner of the tenth Foam Paul Huf Award 2016. This prestigious annual prize is awarded to a photography talent under the age of 35 and includes a monetary prize and an exhibition at Foam.

The jury, chaired by Simon Baker of Tate London, lauded Yokota as one of the most innovative and experimental young photographers globally. They unanimously recognized his complex and sophisticated practice, noting his ability to push photography into original directions through prints, artist's books, installations, and collaborative performances, all characterized by a distinctive visual language. An exhibition featuring Daisuke Yokota's work is scheduled to be on display at Foam in the spring of 2017.
