Since I do not have any formal training as a film director, I have been making films in my own way, without really knowing how to do it properly.

But many people think … moreThe next station of this travelling exhibition after Kyoto is Tokyo. As last year's "Hyakka Ranran" exhibition proved, the contrast between the flowers of Araki and those of Robert Mapplethorpe couldn't be sharper. Sun and shadow, light and darkness, hard and soft... Or one might even call it life and death. While Mapplethorpe creates perfectly composed pictures of bright, metallically shining flowers in full bloom, what Araki captures on film with seeming nonchalance are withered or mouldered p… more |
