Simon Baker Issei Suda Paperback Book

The work of Issei Suda (19402019) is distinct in contemporary avantgarde Japanese photography for its celebration of the beauty of the everyday. His blackandwhite pictures reflect on the apparent banality ofurban life, capturing "the little surprises usually ignored in our world" theshadow of a figure, the shapes of the street, the expressions on strangers faces. Sudas practice revealed the tensions between old and new Japan, juxtaposing the ingrained visual traditions of Japanese culture with theprevailing western vocabulary of fashion, advertising, and leisure, as seenthrough his observant and tender lens. | Simon Baker Issei Suda Paperback Book
