Movement, always; disorder, sometimes; gestures, carefree and instinctive: Fusako Kodama captures forward momentum. Her photographs, taken on the fly, conjure up astonishing perspectives where the subjects appear slightly out of sync.

Between agitation and lightness, Fusako Kodama captures a certain effervescence of Japan in its modernity. In 1960-80 , she captures the atmosphere of places, both cities and villages. Through her unusual and spontaneous frames, the prolific photographer takes a look at twenty years of Japan that is both gentle and lively.

1960-1980 is Fusako Kodama's first book published in the West, where she is still relatively unknown. This work is a continuation of Chose Commune's approach, which contributes to highlighting contemporary Japanese photographers beyond their country of origin.
