MENSIS (The Paris Illusion) by Yuji Kawaguchi
Overview
Published in 1994, "MENSIS" is a hauntingly beautiful monograph by Japanese photographer Yuji Kawaguchi. Moving away from traditional, romanticized travel photography, Kawaguchi presents a "phantom" version of Paris. The work is characterized by its high-contrast monochrome aesthetic and its ability to transform familiar cityscapes into surreal, dream-like fragments.
Key Features for Collectors
Visual Style: The book features deep blacks and stark whites, capturing a side of Paris that feels frozen in time or existing in a parallel dimension.
Thematic Depth: The title Mensis (Latin for "month" or "cycle") hints at the passage of time and the recurring shadows of history within the city’s architecture and streets.
Japanese Perspective: A prime example of the 90s Japanese photographic approach to European subjects—introspective, moody, and technically precise.
