At the time [February 1992], there was, behind the scenes, a growing atmosphere where people had begun to have misgivings about Fukase's confused and failing behaviors. Friends had begun to worry about his living alone, and when the accident occurred, the whole event itself, too, was taken as an incident that characterizes Fukase as a photographer. What strikes me now, looking through Fukase's latest series, is the way in which they were supported by careful examination in order to produce specific images. They were taken carefully as he calmly and precisely settled himself into the tiny, unsteadily floating stainless steel tub. Fukase's act of photography, where the telltale digital numbers showed the date, continued for exactly one month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Écho 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31786111402036,"sku":"","price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/products\/FUKASE_bukubuku_COUV.jpg?v=1586506614"},{"product_id":"masahisa-fukase-hibi","title":"Masahisa Fukase - Hibi","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMasahisa Fukase\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHibi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished by MACK, 2016\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 x 26 x 2.5cm\u003cbr\u003e Pages 240 pages\u003cbr\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9781910164457\u003cbr\u003e Good condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHibi literally comprises a series of street photographs by renowned Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase. Each of the black and white images painstakingly attends to the road surface—the worn road markings, the faded lines and arrows eroded by the city's countless inhabitants, a network of cracks in the asphalt. In 1992, Fukase printed and painted the works for a solo exhibition, 'Private Scenes '92,' held at the Nikon Salon in Tokyo. He layered a set of bromide prints with fluid drawings in vibrantly colored inks, and over each image the artist's physical presence is traced, a shadowy presence that seems to offer a reading, an interpretation, but can never be entirely resolved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Editor's text\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Écho 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36936909881500,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/products\/Fukase_HIBI_couv_cd976acd-ebf0-4e3f-8e3e-f692c9d664af.jpg?v=1605893493"},{"product_id":"masahisa-fukase-ravens","title":"Masahisa Fukase - Ravens","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasahisa Fukase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRavens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published by MACK, 2017\u003cbr\u003e Size: 26.3 x 26.3 cm\u003cbr\u003e 136 Pages\u003cbr\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e Languages: English, Japanese\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “‘Ravens’ is one of the major bodies of work in the history of photography and a high point of the photobook genre. This accumulation of accolades and the passage of time have obscured many of the fascinating details that explain the artist’s preoccupation with this motif throughout his work. It was not simply a reflection of the existential angst and anhedonia he suffered throughout his life, but manifested itself as an artistic self-identification with the raven and ultimately resulted in a solitary existence and an artistic practice bordering on madness. And all this before a premature accident in 1992—a fall down the stairs of his favorite bar—left him spending the last twenty years before his death with his consciousness suspended and in medical isolation.

This new edition contains a new text by Tomo Kosuga situating the body of work within Fukase's oeuvre and life, illustrated with numerous newly discovered photographs and drawings. Fukase's haunting series of works was created between 1975 and 1986 following a divorce and was apparently triggered by a sorrowful train journey to his hometown. The coastal landscapes of Hokkaido serve as the backdrop for his profoundly dark and impressionistic photographs of unsettling flocks of crows. The work has been interpreted as a disturbing allegory for postwar Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Distributor's statement\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Écho 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36937095315612,"sku":"","price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/products\/FUKASE_RAVEN_couv.jpg?v=1605894267"},{"product_id":"masahisa-fukase-afterword","title":"MASAHISA FUKASE - AFTERWORD","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMASAHISA FUKASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAFTERWORD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published by Roshin books, 2017\u003cbr\u003e Book Size 23.1 x 21 cmPages\u003cbr\u003e Pages 104 pages, 80 images\u003cbr\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e Language Japanese, English\u003cbr\u003e Limited Edition900\u003cbr\u003e Second edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “Afterword” is composed of photos used in the afterword 'Sasuke's Diary' from “Sasuke, My Dear Cat”, published by Seinen Shokan in 1978.
