Grimaldi Gavin, Piccadilly, London Until Friday August 7 2015 Free
"We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness" is the title of a 2014 book of interiors and landscape photographs by Japanese-born, London-based photographer Tomoko Yoneda, some of which are included in this exhibition of her works from the last 14 years.
It may seem like Yoneda is a thematic one-trick pony: beautiful scenes, horrible histories. But history itself is the horse with a single ploy: an eternal cycle of regrowth, not newness. You are unlikely to find a photographer who can match her subtle understanding of light or one who can capture dark nostalgia in images of such inescapable beauty.
