Product Details
Overview
Published to coincide with an exhibition at Tokyo Node, Mika Ninagawa: Goldfish brings together Ninagawa's vibrant photographs, large-scale immersive installations, and her work as a film director. Including exclusive interviews with the artist and her collaborators, this book presents an overview of one of the defining image-makers of her generation and situates her work within the broader histories of Japanese photography and visual culture.
Emerging from onnanoko shashin, the Japanese "girly photography" movement of the late 1990s, Ninagawa's navigation of the once male-dominated photography scene has established her as a cultural phenomenon in Japan, her impact reaching across art, cinema, fashion, and advertising.
Written by Lena Fritsch, an expert in twentieth-and twenty-first-century Japanese art and photography, Mika Ninagawa: Goldfish presents a comprehensive overview of Ninagawa's work. Fritsch's frank, light-hearted conversations with Ninagawa reveal Ninagawa's personal perspective on her career to date. Short texts introduce the recurring themes of fragility and strength, reality and fiction, that form the major motifs of her photography, and an essay by Japanese film expert Jennifer Coates explores her work as a director, including her semi-autobiographical Netflix show, Followers.
Bold, immersive, and visually irresistible, this is an essential book for lovers of contemporary art, photography, and Japanese visual culture.
