Remarques & avis / Review — A fine example of photography as Nobuyoshi ARAKI conceives it — some confessional truth within the subjective lie — through this brilliant fake diary composed of alternating indoor nudes and street shots, in a comfortable volume.
Un bel exemple de la photographie d'ARAKI Nobuyoshi tel qu'il la conçoit — de la vérité confessionnelle dans le mensonge subjectif — à travers ce brillant faux journal intime fait d'alternance de nus casaniers et de scènes de rue, dans un volume agréable.
Divers / Misc. — "Compact camera-taken, dated (as far as 1992!) photos presented in chronological order" (IIZAWA Kohtaro, ARAKI's Illustrated Bibliography, in déjà-vu #4 : ARAKI Nobuyoshi (1991), p. 78).
Note: There is a fatal flaw in the book design: the oblong volume is to be inserted vertically in the slipcase (which damages upper & lower cover edges on one side), which is held together by staples on both ends (which inevitably end up scratching the book's spine-strip). All copies present some level of grazing on the spine-end.
