    K-NARF & SHOKO
    HATARAKIMONO PROJECT

    Published by Dilecta, 2018
    Book size 21 x 26 cm
    Pages 192
    Language French, English and Japanese

    Continuing his artistic work of transforming the Super-Ordinary of our time into an Extra-Ordinary Visual archive for the future, French artist K-NARF launched the HATARAKIMONO PROJECT in September 2016 in Tokyo.

    Consisting of more than a hundred portraits of Japanese workers, this project documents and preserves one of the least publicized pillars of Japanese culture before it completely disappears from our modern society: respect for all types of jobs as well as the people who perform them.

    It took K-NARF more than a year to create this unprecedented collection of portraits; it also required the organization of thirty-four photo shoots using a portable studio to photograph the HATARAKIMONO one by one in their workplace. Each portrait has the particularity of being presented in a triptych and of being entirely handmade in the form of original TAPE-O-GRAPHIQUES prints, a neo-vintage photographic development process developed by K-NARF about ten years ago.

    For this title, there is the top edition "HATARAKIMONO PROJECT / TOROSHU-BOX", composed of the book dedicated to the HATARAKIMONO PROJECT, a handmade plexiglass box, a stamp and the TOROSHU-BOX enclosing three photos of the series in FILM-O -TAPES.
