SEX - AKAAKA

http://www.akaaka.com/publishing/books/jo-sex.html About Book 『SEX』は徐美姫（じょう・みき）の第一作目の写真集です。ロバート・フランクをして「wonderful」と感嘆させたこのシリーズは、波や水の動きを見つめたモノクロの作品21点から構成されています。それは徐の30年の生の流れそのものであり、セルフヌードともいえる生身の強さに満ちています。かつ、強大で変転しつづける対象を見つめ体感することで、自分でありながら自分を解き、波の向こう側の大きなものと向かい合う、深い抽象性をも獲得しています。 「SEX」、性、性交、生まれつき、さが、男女の別、物の性質。

No, not the renowned 16th-century British philosopher, or the famed Irish-born 20th-century figurative painter. But Francis Bacon, the kosher vegetarian, Budapest-born Irish Wolfhound, whose budding career as Tokyo’s most prominent furry art celebrity was sadly short-lived after his passing in 2008. His manager and beloved owner Joni Waka, universally known as “Johnnie Walker,” director of the art foundation A.R.T., created the juried Bacon Prize in the canine’s name to honor and support a specially selected artist. Walker’s efforts to support artists and Tokyo’s contemporary art scene, over nearly 30 years, have been recognized worldwide.
