ARAKI

Nobuyoshi Araki

[Photographie - Erotica]

First published as a Limited Edition and now back in a new format to celebrate TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary the curation delves deep into Araki’s best-known imagery: Tokyo street scenes; faces and foods; colorful, sensual flowers; female genitalia; and the Japanese art of kinbaku, or bondage. As girls lay bound but defiant and glistening petals assume suggestive shapes, Araki plays constantly with patterns of subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock. Texts in english, german, french
