Araki:
Tokyo Lucky Hole
de Nobuyoshi Araki (Photographies)
Book
Description
Nobuyoshi Araki is the most controversial photographer working in the
world today. To his critics, he is no more than a pornographer and a
misogynist; to his supporters he is a radical and a revolutionary, a
figure who has challenged not just artistic limits, but social limits
in post-war Japan. At home, he is a national celebrity. In the West
he is considerably less understood. This is the book that will explain
Araki. In its sheer range of text and images, it is also the most comprehensive
volume ever to be published on his life's work

Subway
Love
de Nobuyoshi Araki (Photographies)
Book
Description
From 1963 until 1972, the young Nobuyoshi Araki obsessively photographed
his fellow passengers during his daily commute on the Tokyo subway.
Yawning businessmen, women dozing with their legs splayed, kids who
mugged for the camera-Araki captured them all candidly on film, without
using a viewfinder. Now, over thirty years later, Subway Love brings
back to life these vital and various "prisoners" crammed into
their subway cars. Included is an interview with Araki, who explains
the essence of documentary: "to gaze unflinchingly at a thing for
a long time."
The
brilliant and controversial Nobuyoshi Araki is one of Japan's leading
photographers.

Love
Hotel
de Nobuyoshi Araki, Karine Chesneau (Traduction)
Présentation
de l'éditeur
Un rituel érotique mystérieux, un art qui oscille entre
tendresse et cruauté : telles sont les caractéristiques
de l'œuvre du photographe japonais Nobuyoshi Araki. Dans ce carnet
de route qui couvre les années 1970-1990, Araki raconte ses rencontres
avec ses modèles féminins. Comment des filles abordées
dans les quartiers populaires de Tokyo deviennent-elles les créatures
de son univers hors norme et parfois ses maîtresses d'une journée
? Comment les convainc-t-il de se prêter à ses sulfureuses
mises en scène ? Dans ce jeu où l'humour et la poésie
s'allient au sadomasochisme, la victime n'est pas toujours celle qu'on
imagine... Chronique libertine d'un amoureux des femmes sous toutes
les coutures, Love Hotel est aussi l'histoire d'un regard épris
du Japon contemporain.
