Nobuyoshi Araki
Journal intime, 1994
- Exhibition, Paris
- Sun 30 Apr → Sun 11 Jun 1995
Location
Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain
261 boulevard Raspail
75014 Paris
Two series of photographs are exhibited: Private Daily and Private Novel. Araki adapts photography to the Japanese genre of the ‘private novel’ where the author takes his themes from his private life.
Araki’s work is part of a strong tradition of Japanese eroticism which continues today, getting around and provoking the censorship laws passed during the American occupation of Japan. The perpetually oscillating frontier between true and false, the censored image – whose shocking parts have been cruelly scrubbed out – and death, are central themes in Araki’s work, which deals not only with the act of taking photographs, but also with the act of seeing them.
