“Morimura is in a paradoxical situation, not only as an artist, but as a self: He uses art to objectify himself, but he seems peculiarly selfless despite doing so. That is, he remains apart and aloof from the art of which he has become an inseparable part, standing out from the picture as though watching himself perform in it.”
- Donald Kuspit, “Art’s Identity Crisis: Yasumasa Morimura’s Photographs,” Daughter of Art History. Photographs by Yasumasa Morimura, New York, p. 9
