To coincide with Motoyuki Daifu's exhibition Lovesody , Simple Editions, in close collaboration with the MEP (Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris) and the artist, have published a limited-edition fanzine.

Intimacy – the photographer's and that of those close to him – is a central theme for Motoyuki Daifu, whose work evokes the tradition of the photographic diary. Daifu has always had a strong connection to the zine format, which early in his career made it possible for him to distribute his first works. In fact; the series "Lovesody" first took shape as a self-published zine, and was released later on in the form of a photo-book - both of which have long been out of print. With this new version of the zine, created especially for the MEP, the "Lovesody" project has thus been expanded and reinvented.
