Shigeichi Nagano Hysteric Fourteen [ex n°415/800] - 2005. 1s - Lot 220
Shigeichi Nagano Hysteric Fourteen [ex n°415/800] - 2005. 1st numbered edition of 800 copies. Japan, from the burnt ashes of Hiroshima in the aftermath of the war to the modern megalopolis of Tokyo in the 2000s. "Hysteric Fourteen" begins with photographs from the early years of Shigeichi Nagano's career, depicting post-war Japan's reconstruction efforts in places like Hiroshima, Oita, Kyoto, Iwate, Kamakura and (mainly) Tokyo. Nagano rejects glitz in his photography, but neither does he have a cold, sterile vision; his brilliantly composed photographs document the Japan of the time while leaving plenty of space for his subjects. The second, shorter part of the book (the distinction made apparent by the use of different paper) includes several photographs taken in Tokyo in the early 2000s - photographs that each manage to stand on their own but take on a much deeper and more complex layer of meaning in juxtaposition with Nagano's work from the 1950s.
