Katsuhiro Yamaguchi (山口勝弘, ''Yamaguchi Katsuhiro''; 22 April 1928—2 May 2018) was a Japanese artist and art theorist based in Tokyo and Yokohama. Through his collaborations, writings, and teaching, he promoted an interdisciplinary avant-garde in postwar Japan that served as the foundation for the emergence of Japanese media art in the early 1980s, a field in which he remained active until his death. He represented Japan at the 1968

, although it was severely damaged by bombing during the war. Art historian Toshiharu Omuka argues that the remaining photographs of Tōgō's design show clear influences of the machine aesthetic that held a growing sway in 1920s Europe, when Tōgō was based in Paris. Omuka thus posits this annex as a possible source of Yamaguchi's interest in industrial materials, urban space, and modernist forms reminiscent of

1950s

Despite having no formal training in the arts, Yamaguchi was already active even before graduating from the Department of Law at Nihon University in 1951. He participated in the Avant-Garde Artists' Club's Summer Modern Art Seminar in July 1948 and formed the Shichiyōkai group with Shōzō Kitadai and Hideko Fukushima, among others, in August 1948. Shichiyōkai members, including Yamaguchi, also formed the Avant Garde Research Group under

left the painting section of Yoru no Kai to form yet another group called Pouvoir. Yamaguchi's perspective on art was further tempered by exposure to materials on László Moholy-Nagy, György Kepes, and other modernists through the American-run CIE Library at GHQ during the American occupation. The combination of these distinct but inter-related experiences helped Yamaguchi solidify a commitment to the potentials of a cross-disciplinary collaborative approach to artmaking that he then put into practice as a member of the seminal group

(1968), and became commissioner for the Mitsui Pavilion at Expo ’70.

1970s

Yamaguchi described his experience at Expo ’70 as eye opening, motivating him to shift gears, and leading him to take up the medium of video, with which he had begun experimenting in the late 1960s, in earnest. In 1972 he co-founded the Tokyo-based video collective Video Hiroba alongside Fujiko Nakaya, Hakudō Kobayashi, Nobuhiro Kawanaka, Masao Kōmura,

, Rikurō Miyai, Shoko Matsushita, Yoshiaki Tōno, Keigo Yamamoto, Sakumi Hagiwara, and Michitaka Nakahara, among others. With this group he developed what art historian Jung-Yeon Ma describes as “video as a social medium,” focused on the concept of communication through both experimental group exhibitions and community projects. Aside from the group activities of Video Hiroba, Yamaguchi also began making video installations, such as his ''Las Meninas'' and ''Video Landscape'', both shown at the Bienal de São Paulo in 1974. By the late 1970s Yamaguchi was developing his concept of the ''Imaginarium'' that would serve as inspiration for his environmental sculptures of the 1980s and ‘90s. Aside from his work as an artist, he also began teaching as a professor in the School of Art and Design at

Yamaguchi retired from

He also established a studio on the island of Awaji in the 1990s, and was involved in the development of a multi-arts center on the island. He continued to show both in Japan and internationally during this decade, and continued his media collaborations with artists and dancers. In 2001 he was struck with a sudden illness that left him partially disabled and shifted his practice from media art to drawings and paintings produced by hand.
