Masaaki Toyoura - Elysion - 1993

[Description]

"ELYSION: Underground Paradise," the legendary photobook published by photographer Masaaki Toyoura in 1993.

The entire volume is a honed world of monochrome, depicting subjects whose physicality has been stripped to the absolute limit through methods such as bondage and kinbaku.

Its most striking feature is the vivid contrast between the living human body and inorganic materials like leather and metal. Meticulous lighting relentlessly highlights the sensual curves of the flesh and the cold texture of the materials, creating serene, almost sculptural compositions.

While themed on the visual expression of fetishism, this volume also presents the artist's perspective of the human body as a sculptural object.
