Revue DIAPO is an editorial project that explores temporality in photography, defining itself as anachronistic and seeking to rehabilitate the slide through the eyes of young photographers. Founded by Rimasùu Studio and based in Paris, it focuses on archives, past projects, personal research, unpublished or republished images, and forgotten imagery. Each issue presents the work of a photographer in a carefully crafted editorial object, accompanied by a text that resonates with the images. The last two issues of Revue DIAPO, published in 2025, focus on the Japanese photographic scene, featuring the work of Kanade Hamamoto and Yusuke Yamatani.
In this talk, photographers Kanade Hamamoto and Yusuke Yamatani will join us to discuss their featured works and the recent issues of Revue DIAPO.

Yusuke Yamatani
Yusuke Yamatani is a photographer whose practice combines close observation and lived experience. After studying philosophy at Rissho University, he trained with Shomei Tomatsu and a circle of photographers in Nagasaki, before immersing himself in alternative communities from Milanese squats to Southeast Asian punk scenes.
First recognized for his black-and-white series “Tsugi no yoru e (On to the Next Night)”, which captures the transience of youth cultures, Yamatani continues to explore contemporary society through diverse subjects, navigating between documentary and conceptual approaches. With “Onsen I” (2023) and “Onsen MMXXIV” (2024), he portrays collective bathing scenes across Japan, staging encounters that reveal the fragile boundaries between intimacy, ritual, and nature.
