Presentation by CEIBA:

"In Japan, legend has it that a man and a woman who have a predestined encounter have had each other’s little fingers tied together by an invisible red string since the time they were born.

Unfortunately, the red string tying my parents together either came untied, broke, or perhaps it was never even tied to begin with. But if the two had never met, I would never have been born into this world. If anything, you might say it is between parent and child that there is an unbreakable red string of fate."

Red String was initially self-published in 35 copies by Yoshikatsu Fujii in 2015. This book is the intimate story of a broken family, from the wedding to the divorce of a couple and beyond, and how a child - now and adult - tries to fit in...

We are offering here the Limited Edition of this book (signed copies), sold with a signed 20x30 cm "archival pigment print".

Even siblings sharing the same blood can become distant and turn into strangers to each other as they each grow and forge their own path in life. Sometimes, we fail to hit it off with friends and eventually lose touch. But with family, no matter how brittle the relationship, it cannot be...

  • Presentation by Ceiba : "Julie’s photographs are divine because they are shot from her burning heart on fire by being there. She was in the thick of it. And with the bikers as one of them she shows us something real, not fabricated, about the human condition. What is. Not what is made up. [The book] is a reflection in full measure, of Julie’s personal...

Too many Black men, so the argument goes, are missing, irresponsible, selfish, not stepping up to the plate.
