Masahisa Fukase 1961-1991 Retrospective
Categories：Creators' Artworks
A retrospective that traces the trajectory of Masahisa Fukase, who was active from the 1960s to the early 1990s, and touches on his unique world.
Masahisa Fukase's deep perspective on his personal life earned him a unique position in the history of Japanese photography in the 1960s.
It was also an act of searching for the origin of photography, and it was later called "personal photography'' and developed as one of the main forms of expression that photographers pursued.
Fukase points his camera at people close to him, such as his wife and family, and while exposing his private life, he focuses on the madness that lurks within himself.
The madness is a mixture of a loving gaze toward the subject and a humorous lightness that makes Fukase's work special and unique.
This book contains a rich collection of works such as the representative works "Yugi'', "Yoko'', "Crow'', "Sasuke'', "Kazoku'', and "Bukubuku'' in a handy format.
This is a retrospective that traces the trajectory of Masahisa Fukase, who was active from the 1960s to the early 1990s, and touches on his unique world.
"I never think that I can capture a certain object by photographing it.What is important to me is how far I can go into it.How much of myself can be reflected in it.The act of looking into the viewfinder itself I want it to be something fleshed out. I can't help but feel like I can use photography more freely. I think I can relate to my entire existence.''

His representative work "Raven'' is highly acclaimed around the world as a monument of Japanese photography. Thanks to the work of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, which was established after his death, in 2017, the first major retrospective exhibition after his death, "l'incurable ?go?ste,'' was held at the Arles International Photography Festival in France. In 2018, his first retrospective exhibition in Japan, ?gYugi,?h was held at KYOTOGRAPHIE in Kyoto. In the same year, the museum's first retrospective exhibition, "Private Scenes,'' was held at Foam in the Netherlands. Coinciding with the event, the photo book "Masahisa Fukase" (Japanese version published by Akaakasha, English and French versions published by Editions Xavier Barral) was published, which is a collection of the works that Fukase had created over the course of his life. Since then, many collections have been published, including "Kill the Pig'' (Ibasho & the (M) editions 2021), "Sasuke'' (Editions Xavier Barral, Akakasha 2021), and "Kazoku'' (Mack 2019).
