Araki Nobuyoshi - Tombeau Tokyo - 2017

荒木经惟作品的常见主题是生命、死亡、爱情、色情和猫——在这位日本现当代最伟大摄影师之一的作品中，这些主题完美交织在一起。Fresh off a remarkable retrospective exhibition at the Guimet Museum of Asian Art in Paris, the 76-year-old now heads to Chanel Nexus Hall to show off a combination of pieces from the Guimet show, takeouts from new series 'Tombeau Tokyo', a few brand-new shots and select Araki favourites from the early days of Japanese photography. Reflecting on his dramatic life and 50-year career, the Tokyo native proclaims: 'I already have one foot in the grave. I'm endeavouring to explore what kind of photos I'll take on the other side.' Having conquered prostate cancer - a battle he also documented photographically - in 2009, Araki has demonstrated that there's still plenty of life left in him. Don't miss out on what's set to be one of the controversial luminary's most significant Tokyo shows in a while.
