■ Issei Suda: "Rei" e-Book vers.

“There, inside the show window, unfurls my own world of limitless desires.”

This controversial e-Book represents the photographer’s own idea of eroticism in perfection as embodied by the inorganic shapes of the mannequins in the show windows in the Ginza area at the break of the day.
One particularly appealing quality of Suda’s previous work has been the vague kind of sensuality that Japanese lyricism is charged with, whereas here this aspect is not only brought to the fore, but Suda unreservedly makes it the very target of his approach.

Issei Suda:Born 1940 in Tokyo. Graduated from the Tokyo College of Photography in 1962. Was hired as house photographer for Shuji Terayama’s experimental theater troupe Tenjo Sajiki in ’67, before commencing his work as a freelance photographer in‘71. A Newcomer's Award from the Photographic Society of Japan for Fushi Kaden catapulted him into the limelight in 1976. He further received the Photographic Society of Japan’s Annual Award for the exhibition of the“Monogusa Syui”series in 1983, followed in ’85 by the 1st Domestic Photography Award at Higashikawa for“Nichijo no danpen”. In 1997, his book Human Memory received several awards including the Domon Ken Prize. In 2013, his large-scale retrospective exhibition“Nagi no hira ‒ fragments of calm”was shown at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. His works capturing moments between reality and non-reality have lately earned a high reputation also outside Japan. Main photo collections include Fushi Kaden (’78), Waga Tokyo 100 (’79), Akai hana ‒ scarlet bloom (2000), Fushi Kaden (definitive edition, 2012), and Anonymous Men and Women (’13), Early Works(’14), Childhood Days(’15).
