This comprehensive monograph brings together for the first time the entire artistic oeuvre of Masahisa Fukase, one of the most radical and original Japanese photographers of the 20th century. Edited by Simon Baker and Tomo Kosuga, the book showcases 26 series spanning from the 1960s to the early 1990s. It explores Fukase’s obsession with his private life as a photographic subject, featuring his legendary “The Solitude of Ravens,” intimate portraits of his family and wife Yoko, and his later experimental works involving hand-painting, collages, and self-portraits taken in bathtubs. The volume serves as a deep dive into the psyche of an artist who blurred the lines between his life and his medium.
