| | | Araki: Impossible LoveVintage PhotographsText by Felix Hoffmann.
 "A visual autobiography of a singular, subversive life in art” —AnOtherThis book combines Araki’s early Tokyo series with a selection of his recent Polaroid collages and newly developed slide shows—all of them exploring the contradictions between anonymity and intimacy, the public and private sphere, reality and dream.
Araki is one of the most influential and widely discussed artists today, legendary for his radical and realistic treatment of nudity, sexuality and the body. Together with Nan Goldin, Larry Clark and Boris Mikhailov, Araki is considered one of the pioneers of intimate subjective photography.
Born in Tokyo in 1940, Nobuyoshi Araki worked in advertising after completing his studies in photography and film at Chiba University in Tokyo; he devoted himself exclusively to photography from the mid-1960s. Araki’s oeuvre spans erotic portraits of women, artificial still lifes, images of plants, documentary-style depictions of everyday life, and architectural photography, as well as diaristic photos of himself and his deceased wife, Yoko. He has published around 400 books, shown in many international exhibitions and his work is part of important collections worldwide. Araki lives and works in Tokyo.

AnOther Arranged chronologically, the book maps Araki’s oeuvre as it unfolds, transforming his photo diary into a visual autobiography of a singular, subversive life in art. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 3/13/2019 Featured collage, from Nobuyoshi Araki's 1973 Tokyo series, is reproduced from Araki: Impossible Love, the powerful new release from Steidl. Published to accompany a recent show of mostly "vintage" photographs at C/O Berlin, this 368-page monograph highlights "what Araki has been confronting and engaging with for decades: radical intimacy in the interweaving of personal experiences with external social tensions," curator Felix Hoffmann writes. "The immediacy of his photos often comes in part from the exhibitionism of his surroundings as it catches his gaze. As collages, his photos continually reveal aspects of a dysfunctional society that is too often based on superficial values, and question the social responsibility and moral attitudes of its members. Araki's extreme proximity to and familiarity with the people and situations in his photographs makes them unique and revolutionary. In contrast to classic photojournalists, who only look into foreign worlds from the outside, Araki not only takes part in the lives of his subjects; he assumes an essential role in his pictures that is far from voyeuristic. The tension between the classic composition of Araki's photographs and his very particular choice of themes gives rise to a direct, intensive visual language that is as moving as it is unsettling." continue to blog | |  | SteidlISBN: 9783958297456
