Golden Persimmons II—Brian Kanagaki

Documenting absence

A table of fruit; a skyline, devoid of life; a ladder framed against sky—these laconic scenes, documentary snapshots of everyday life and its alienated torpor—make up the latest publication from Brian Kanagaki via London-based Palm* Studios. Taken over the course of six years, and split into three parts, the book—more akin to a catalogue, with the names of locations indexed at the work’s end—inhabit the space of melancholia; in softened monochrome.

There’s a visual similarity to the work of post-war German author and photographer W.G. Sebald, whose novels were punctuated by decontextualized black and white images which he himself had taken. The doorways of Terezin, a Czech concentration camp; piles of documents; bric-a-brac in a junk store window. Each scene conveyed not a presence but an absence; a void that surged around the image—escaping its frame. Likewise, Kanagaki’s images—this time mostly without text, excepting the index—reduce human existence to scenes without humans, though they carry the imprint of their having been present.

Golden Persimmons II continues Palm* Studio’s exploration into a conceptual photography that has, at its heart, people and places (even if the people, in Kanagaki’s work, are absent). The book is available from their website, alongside a ream of additional content and material.

Hikigaya Hachiman: Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many. working hard alone doesn't assure you that you'll achieve your dreams. actually there are more cases where you don't. even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least.

Hikigaya Hachiman: Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don't care.

鴉 / RAVENS by Masahisa Fukase

日本人写真家、深瀬昌久の作品集。写真という媒体の歴史の中で最も重要な写真集の一つとしていつの時代にも高く評価されてきた写真家・深瀬昌久の『鴉』は、1986年に初版が刊行され、その後、2度復刻されているが、いずれも限定部数での発行だったこともあり、直ちに完売となっている。今回の復刻版では、初版のレイアウトやデザインを踏襲しつつ、新たに深瀬昌久アーカイブスのトモ・コスガによるテキストを収録。近年、トモ・コスガによって発見された深瀬の未発表作品やドローイングを多数引用しながら、知られざる深瀬昌久の作品と人生の交差を読み解く。

DOMESTICATED LAND by Susan Lipper

アメリカ人フォトグラファー、スーザン・リッパー（Susan Lipper）の作品集。本シリーズでは、カリフォルニア砂漠のどこかに存在する場所を舞台に、不活性な状態と人類の終焉との間で宙ぶらりんになっている終末論的��情景へと読者を誘う。人類史の外側で起きた出来事による遺跡、象徴、足跡がその風景によって不気味なほど静かに提示されており、書物の著者や主人公によって物語調に散りばめられ構成された、歴史上もしくは現代に存在する女性たちの言葉を表している。
