Araki. Tokyo Lucky Hole

Kniha fotografií Jeroma Sansa, ktorá vychádza v limitovanom náklade 2 500 kusov."This book reveals everything about me. It''s been a 60-year contract. Photography is love and death-that''ll be my epitaph. The first title in our new TASCHEN limited series is Araki, an enormous and unique book with a print run of only 2,500 copies. The subject is Japanese photographer Araki, a man who talks about life through photographs. His powerful oeuvre, decades'' worth of images, has been pared down to about 1,000 photographs which tell the story of Araki and comprise the ultimate retrospective collection of his work. Known best for his intimate, snapshot-style images of women often tied up with ropes (kinbaku, Japanese rope-tying art) and of colorful, sensual flowers, Araki is an artist who reacts strongly to his emotions and uses photography to experience them more fully. Obsessed with women, Araki seeks to come closer to them through photography, using ropes like an embrace and the click of the shutter like a kiss. His work is at once shocking and mysteriously tender; a deeply personal artist, Araki is not afraid of his emotions nor of showing them to the world. Limited edition of 2,500 copies worldwide, each numbered and signed by Araki; Extensive bibliography and biography section; All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Aniva, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequalled intensity and color range. The duotone illustrations are made with Novatone, a special treatment for black and white images that produces exquisite tonal range and density.".Japonský fotograf Araki je muž, ktorý rozpráva svoj život prostredníctvom fotografií. Hovorí o svojom vzťahu k svetu, o posadnutosti ženami a o imaginácií sveta, na ktorý sa pozerá výlučne cez objektív prístroja, ktorý sa stal súčasťou jeho tela a existencie.
