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. Being the amateur that I am, what I rely on is the experiences that I have gained over the years, working as an interpreter and translator, studying sculpture and media art, and also the know-how that I have acquired in the … moreContemporary Japanese Photography vol.19What Photography Can Do; What Has Been Done by Photography

Mixing equal parts fantasy and reality, each artist choreographs intense and strange scenarios, imbuing their images with unse… more50 Years After His Tragic DeathThe Film

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 |
