Masahisa Fukase, the influential photographer, is gaining attention in 2023 through a biopic about his life and the reissuing of his celebrated works, notably 'Homo Ludens' and another publication. These reprints, facilitated by Yoko Miyoshi, who played a significant role in Fukase's life, feature fresh contemporary covers. Their shared romantic journey is depicted in photo collections that reveal the depth of their emotional bond, touching on their life in Tokyo, their shared experiences, and notable events including exhibitions in New York.
He, Fukase, appeared before me on a hazy spring day... My cheeks glowed with the freshness of youth and I spent my days completely unfamiliar with facial packs and other such beauty treatments.
As you leaf through the book, images collide and unveil the spirit of their bond - defiant, fierce and fun - all the while evoking the gentle thrums of time.
The mundane meets the theatrical, from fortune papers and New Year's snow to dancing on the kitchen worktop naked.
One chapter lingers in 1974 New York, where Fukase's works were included in the New Japanese Photography exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.
