Bruce Yonemoto (b.1949) currently lives and works in Los Angeles, USA.

Bruce Yonemoto has developed a body of work which positions itself within the overlapping intersections of art and the cinema screen. He believes that the composition of mass media has become a new historical site of the domination of human behavior. 

Yonemoto has participated in many important exhibitions, festivals and biennials, including: “Bravento NOVO”, Chi-Wen Gallery, Taipei (TW, 2018); The Future of My Desire“, Tate Modern, London (UK, 2017); “An Asian Survey – Bruce Yonemoto”, Hong-gah Museum, Taipei (TW, 2015); “The Whole Earth. California and the Disappearance of the Outside”, aus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (DE, 2013); “Mike Kelley Tribute”, Tate Modern, London (UK, 2012); Drawing the Line: Japanese American Art, Design and Activism in Post-War“, The Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles (US, 2012); “Beyond South”, White Flag Projects, St. Louis, MO (US, 2010); The 7th Gwangju Biennale (KR, 2008); “California Video”, Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles (US, 2008); “Bruce Yonemoto: Disappearance of Memory,” Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA (US, 2007);
