Presentation by Zen Foto Gallery :
"This latest publication by French photographer Maki includes images taken between 2001 and 2015 during many visits to Japan. The high-contrast black-and-white photos, from streetsnaps to portraits, landscapes and the occasional erotic image, paint a manifold picture of Maki’s extensive experience of Japan while avoiding the common mistake of needless orientalism.
Says Russet Lederman in her essay A Journey to Japan Somewhere: « Maki approaches photography as a series of open-ended encounters experienced from both inside and outside Japanese culture. (...) Japan Somewhere travels both figuratively and literally into Japan’s back alleys. »
-- Russet Lederman "
Texts by Takehiko Nakafuji, Russet Lederman and Maki in English and Japanese. The photographs are doubled as thumbnails at the end of the book with date and localization of each picture.
