Katsuhito Nakazato "Urashima"

Even after repeated viewings, it remains difficult to believe that the otherworldly landscapes in Katsuhito Nakazato’s photobook “Urashima” were all photographed on earth, on beaches and along coasts all over Japan. As he demonstrated in earlier series, Nakazato has an unrivaled intuition for views and situations that look absolutely otherworldly and alien, for photographs that offer entirely new perspectives.

Manabu SOMEYA "Hotare"

Manabu Someya’s photobook “Hotare” forms a quiet journey through Japan’s seaside towns and rural areas that is remarkable for its unremarkableness. Traveling to and wandering through these towns, Someya (who quit working as a freelance photographer in 2015 to focus on his own photography) pays attention only to his own sensations and feelings to choose and frame his images, rather than choosing a cerebral approach...

Yoshio MIZOGUCHI "Tokyo on the Brink of Sanity"

Japanese photographer Yoshio Mizoguchi’s photobook “Tokyo on the Brink of Sanity” captures the Japanese megalopolis at a time of disreality, between the late 1980s and early 2000s, when the sudden disappearance of the great fantasy of the bubble gradually began to permeate life in Tokyo. In portraits and snapshots that wander between eroticism and ordinariness, Mizoguchi’s photographs depict a wild atmosphere of undirected lust, verve and anxiety.

Miyako Ishiuchi "Club & Courts Yokosuka Yokohama"

Miyako Ishiuchi’s “Club & Courts Yokosuka Yokohama” consists of grainy, moody photographs taken in decaying amusement bars, entertainment clubs and other seedy places in Yokosuka and Yokohama. Shot in the 1970s and 1980s, Ishiuchi captures the lost glamour, the alluring air of the forbidden, the smell of sex but also the exploitation, horror and desperation of the post-war period that kept lingering somewhere within these ruins. Over time, Ishiuchi felt her hate turn into love and affection.

Chikashi KASAI "Stuttgart"

The book “Stuttgart” chronicles Kasai’s trip back to Germany, together with his mother, in 2021. The journey, filled with difficult emotional situations and old scars that would be torn open, is captured in photographs of meaningful places, quick roadside rests, and, most poignantly, straight and unadorned photographs of Kasai’s mother in the nude, shot in Kasai’s characteristic style.

Kana KUWASAKO "Unnatural Nature"

“Unnatural Nature” is Japanese photographer Kana Kuwasako’s debut publication. Shot in forests and mountains in her home of Hokkaido, Kuwasako’s images present a recreation of her own sensations of the photographed locations rather than strictly visual captures of their appearance. Her approach renders natural landscapes as bright, complex images that reflect on the origin of their creation as much as on the artificial concept of nature.

KUMI OGURO "HESTER"

One could easily establish quite a precise typology by looking at the images collected and placed in HESTER by Kumi Oguro (the word ‘image’ is used on purpose here, instead of photography or photographic work).

Miyako Ishiuchi "Moving Away"

In “Moving Away”, Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi herself becomes the subject of her photography. In the three years between suddenly deciding to move out of the house in which she had lived for 43 years and her actually moving, she took a series of landscapes, streetsnaps, detail shots and still lives around her house and neighborhood that all – either directly as a mirror image or indirectly – feature her in some way. Ishiuchi documents the end of another chapter in her life with attention, sentimentality but also decidedly positively.

Ronin de Goede "ASAKUSA"

“Asakusa” by Dutch photographer Ronin de Goede is a photographic diary of the days he spent photographing the work of Japanese master tattoo artist Horikazu and the clients who hire him.

Shuhei Motoyama "NIPPON 2010-2020"

Japanese photographer Shuhei Motoyama’s photobook “Nippon 2010–2020” is neither diary nor historical record of Japan’s past ten years. Similar to previous works like “Nippon 2003-2013,” Motoyama continued photographing as life kept going on, time continued passing, and the transient world spread further and further around him. His photographs – intricately framed, always keeping a careful distance to his subjects – appear as if taken along the way, as if in passing, yet over the course of the book’s pages a larger significance begins to make itself known.

Kazuma SAEKI "Hanabi-Kei ("Views of Fireworks")"

Fireworks are an indispensable part of Japanese culture. The fireworks follow Japanese aesthetics, and the delicate colors of the fireworks are intertwined with the colors of the seasons. Kazuma Saeki, photographer and licensed pyrotechnicist, has been taking photographs of fireworks since 1987. He insists on using analog film cameras to capture the intrinsic fascination of the fireworks, focusing on single moments of fleeting beauty rather than employing multiple exposures or other techniques. For this book, Saeki has selected 70 images from his many years of work throughout Japan.

Rita ACKERMANN, Andro WEKUA "Chapter 4"

It was in 2002 that Swiss-based Georgian artist Andro Wekua and New York-based Hungarian artist Rita Ackermann were introduced and began a fruitful creative collaboration with each other. Their remote communication, fuelled by mutual experiences of pictures, music, poetry and plain talk, resulted in the publication of zine-like art books – first self-published (“Chapter 1”), then published by Swiss publisher Nieves (“Chapter 2” and “Chapter 3”).
