Book accompanying to the exhibition (at Manggha Museum) which is a contrasting juxtaposition of two outstanding japanese artists: Nobuyoshi Araki and Shiro Tsujimura.
“It would be difficult to find other two artists as individualistic and controversial while at once so deeply Japanese in their work. With his loud, monumental projects Nobuyoshi Araki has set trends and pushed back boundaries in world photography. Shiro Tsujimura, perceived as a rebel and revolutionary in ceramic art circles, has forced his way centre stage on the contemporary art scene. In addition to their titanic productivity and uncompromising work ‘on their own terms’, they share a clearly defined selection of ethical and aesthetic models drawn from the Zen tradition.” (Dominik Lisik, curator)
