Description from the seller
A striking two-volume collection by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Nonami, bringing together ABYSS and MOUSA.
Nonami's highly distinctive photographic world combines the female body with surrealism, eroticism, Japanese visual culture and dreamlike, painterly image-making.
ABYSS presents ethereal and fantastical female figures emerging from mist, darkness and elaborate constructed environments, while MOUSA develops a darker and more distinctly Japanese atmosphere, incorporating kimono, traditional motifs and haunting, theatrical imagery.
Together, the two books offer an excellent overview of Nonami's unique visual language, positioned between photography, painting, fantasy and Japanese erotic aesthetics.
Together, the two books reveal how Nonami transforms the female figure beyond conventional portraiture into something mythical, dreamlike and otherworldly—from the mist and darkness of ABYSS to the distinctly Japanese motifs and haunting sensuality of MOUSA.
