VERTICAL, (DOMAIN) by Hitoshi Tsukiji [SIGNED]

Description:

1969-1975

Tsukiji, who had learned much from photographic trends in Europe and the U.S., opposed emotional photographs that merely explained and portrayed their subjects, which in turn provided the images history, narrative, and event. In 1975, he self-publishedVertical, (DOMAIN)to pursue expressions unique to the photographic medium. The works in this book, which were collected with the attitude that photographs can only capture a limited range of phenomena, exuded an interest in and desire to propose how photographs might take note of and visualize the world within the mediums limitations. Uniquely formatted as a series of gatefolds, the book documents the photographers ocular responses to the pulses of things in circular form.
