Description from the seller
Photographer Masaaki Toyoura's legendary 1993 photobook, "ELYSION: Underground Paradise," depicts the bodies of his subjects, stripped to their bare essentials through bondage and kinbaku techniques, in a world of razor-sharp monochrome.
This book's most distinctive feature is its striking contrast between the flesh of the human body and inorganic materials like leather and metal. The meticulous lighting relentlessly highlights the sensual curves and cold textures of the flesh, creating tranquil, sculptural compositions.
While exploring the visual expression of fetishism, this work embodies the artist's perspective on the human body as a sculptural work.
