“Painting Flowers” – this 2004 photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki features his perhaps most palpable fusion of flowers and the eros/thanatos duality in Araki’s oeuvre. Trickling Liquitex colors on single leaves or entire bouquets of flowers, on large orchids and roses and tulips, the virile flowers gain in intensity – their red becomes redder, almost as if lusting for life – and the withered ones appear as if embalmed after death.
The book finishes with an interview between Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama (only included in Japanese).
