PHOTOGRAPHY ZINES AND BOOKS NO: 75

AKUGARE BY TATSUO SUZUKI & YOHEI ‘JESUS’ ASAI

Who?

Tatsuo Suzuki, is a earlier visible interviewee & Void Tokyo founder. He is kind of identified amongst avenue images circles as is his collective that maintain varied occasions in Tokyo from photograph walks to exhibitions. I picked this up and his most up-to-date group present at Totem Pole Gallery in Shinjuku.

And! Yohei ‘Jesus’ Asai is from the Japanese indie rock band Akogare. Suzuki and the band have been collaborating for someday now and is the entry level for this zine…

What?

Akugare is the most recent collaborative mission from Suzuki who offers the images and Jesus offering a poem at the start, shot by Suzuki. I went forward in translated:

“Away from where I am” If we minimize off a number of mild, the surroundings will cease How many phrases should I exploit to make my want right into a prayer? How a lot can we weaken the silence? Which wrestle will carry Hiraho? The second is ready in a daze, on the cross. When I see my self-portrait mirrored within the window body, the ocean turns into water with the drive of a single wave, my tears return to my emotions, and I scatter like raindrops. Here, the guarantees move backwards.

Now, the guarantees and guarantees are shifting. Whoever I’m, I’m not comfy. Wherever I’m, I can’t really feel comfy. I used to be fully captivated by the seashore. When you see it as it’s, the firewood you see is fragile and crumbles away. Politics is just a check, and the tip of the pen strangles time. Dance madly into the land The colours I as soon as painted, the phrases I as soon as spoke in hiragana Filling within the blanks, past the pores and skin, pure white loss of life and a lady I lookup and bask within the cloudy sky. mild pink Before I knew it, I used to be on the road.”

Tatsuo’s images then displays this sentiment alternating between efficiency photographs of the band, mannequin shoots, and atmospheric serenely empty avenue photographs. They are all in black and white, his absolutely by now signature model. It then serves to metaphor the music each pushed by emotion which brings with it a concord between chaos and serenity (haha should you Google his title the primary hit is what’s Tatsuo Suzuki’s distinctive model).

Why?

Collaboration is all the time enjoyable, and within the vein of his a few of latest group exhibits that revolve across the love of music, it is smart to collaborate with a like-minded band. Often for the exhibits, there will probably be an accompanying photograph present within the venue by Suzuki, and his photographs find yourself as T-shirts… rock merchandise for the band.

The overwhelming sentiment from the collaboration is de facto simply that of pleasure and simply appears to be a number of enjoyable. Really what a band or being a photographer or any artwork kind ought to be about.

Where?

So this can be a little bit of distinctive roll out. This was a aside of an in-person presale for a poetry studying occasion/ photograph exhibition the place the zine will probably be launched at in Tokyo 11/25/25. This is printed via Chee Power Books, so between their instagram Tatsuo & Jesus’s Instagrams (above) particulars will come quickly!
