APERTURE
Aperture 219: Summer 2015
Edited by Michael Famighetti.
Aperture is a sophisticated guide to the world of contemporary photography that combines the finest writing with inspiring photographic portfolios. Presenting fresh perspectives accessible to the photo practitioner and the culturally curious alike, each issue examines one theme at the heart of contemporary photography, explored in two distinct sections: Words, focused on ideas, interviews, and debate, and Pictures, offering an immersive photographic experience of artists' projects and series. Columns include Studio Visit, The Collectors, Dispatches, Object Lessons, and What Matters Now. The Summer 2015 issue, "Tokyo," will be researched onsite in that city and will feature a selection of vital contemporary photography, while exploring Tokyo's role in narratives of Japanese photography.
Takashi Homma, "Tokyo", 2015, is reproduced from Aperture 219: Summer 2015.
