A comprehensive overview of the work of Eikoh Hosoe (1933–2024), this volume contains many seminal photographs from the 1960s and ’70s, plus later work from the 1990s and early 2000s. Hosoe emerged as an influential photographer and filmmaker in the experimental arts movement of post-war Japan. He is recognised in particular for his dark, high-contrast, black-and-white photographs of the human body, as well as his collaborative work with others. Often psychologically charged, his images explore subjects such as death, erotic obsession, and irrationality. ‘A World of Eikoh Hosoe’ presents his fertile imagination along with commentaries and other texts in Japanese.
