The latest photo book "ALL." by photographer Keisuke Nagoshi, who has been a frequent contributor to HOUYHNHNM's, is now on sale. This book was created by taking as its subject actor Kiyohiko Shibukawa, who has been a close friend of his for some time, and then involving the apparel brand "RADIALL.
It is a work that stands in a unique position where the boundaries are blurred, different from a photo collection of actors or a visual for an apparel brand. This is clearly evident in Nagoshi's words.
There is a famous photo of James Dean taken by Dennis Stock.
The photos looked like "ordinary, everyday" photos, as if I were walking through my hometown. However, I remember being overwhelmed when I heard that the photos were taken on site "in between film shootings.
This exhibition features photographs of Kiyohiko Shibukawa, an actor, as a model for the apparel brand "RADIALL". Bakersfield, California / Fresno, California / Joshua Tree, California....
The actors fit into the scene in the photographs as if they had been there for a long time. They are like wanderers who continue to wander between the worlds of fiction and non-fiction. We hope you can sense Kiyohiko Shibukawa, who is not second to any place, but is simply there.
