內容簡介
內容簡介 荒木經惟以「女人」、「天空」為主題的拍立得相片攝影集日本知名攝影師荒木經惟以私寫真、暴露隱私的風格而聞名世界，尤其幾乎沒有保留近距離拍攝妻子陽子的照片更是廣為人知，以出版過超過35本書，作品在許多知名博物館都可看到，是世界上獲利最多的藝術家之一。此套立可拍收藏攝影集為荒木經惟2016年的作品，總共100張照片，以女人和天空為構圖主軸，外盒包裝為一個紙盒，象徵裝滿原始照片的那個盒子，而書名的Polarnography則是拍立得(Polaroid)、色情片(Pornography)的結合。這100張照片並非傳統的拍立得照片，荒木用一對一對的照片來詮釋意義，兩張照片在結構和顏色上互相互補，相輔相成，100種結合創造出100張從未曝光、無法被複製的作品。Polarnography is a collection of 100 previously unpublished Polaroid pictures by Nobuyoshi Araki in 2016, in which portraits of women and sky equally divide the space. The Japanese photographer intentionally analyses the pictures, pair after pair: the controversial nudes of Japanese women bound with the kinbaku technique made him famous around the world, just as his visceral love for the city of Tokyo, celebrated in many of his photography series, from Tokyo Lucky Hole to Tokyo Diary , Tokyo Novel or Suicide in Tokyo . Women and sky not only coexist in the traditional Polaroid shot but instead complement one another, in forms and colours: 100 combinations for 100 unique, previously unpublished and unrepeatable works. The 100 pictures by the Japanese master are reproduced in facsimile and gathered in a box which is, in turn, the facsimile of the box that held the original photographs. The rhetorical composition between Polaroid and Pornography obviously lies at the heart of the title Polarnography.Nobuyoshi Araki (Tokyo, 1940), one of the most controversial and representative artists of the modern age, is a witness to and particularly emblematic and prolific example of contemporary photography language. Over the course of his long and multifaceted creative career, the artist has used photography in its different genres, acceptations and iconic possibilities, pushing it to the extreme limits of violent and hyperreal, aesthetically refined and sublime visions. He has published over 350 books and is considered one of the most prolific artists of all time. His works are found in numerous museums, including the Tate and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
