About Book
深瀬昌久が生涯にわたり追求した視座、その最終地点。
Private Scenes
Masahisa Fukase
"The "Private Scenes" series by Masahisa Fukase is positioned as the culmination of his work. This book is composed based on the original prints that were exhibited twice in 1990 and 1992, during the last period of Fukase's lifetime.
The photos taken by Fukase himself while gripping the camera with one hand objectify Fukase as the photographer. "What's photographed might be hands, feet, faces, or city sketches etc, but everything depicted can be seen as a reflection of myself." This is why they are titled "Private Scenes".
In the works included in "Private Scenes '92," , silver gelatin prints are colored with watercolor paints. We can see Fukase's perspective as a photographer, born into a family running a photography studio, and there also is an intense brushwork that deviates from the frame of photography. Furthermore, this shows derailment from the contemporaneous "私写真" in Japan.
Combining "the relationship between the viewer and the viewed"," an interest in surrealism", and" the perspectives Fukase pursued throughout his life", this book truly represents the final destination for Fukase, whose artistic endeavors came to an end after the exhibition "Private Scenes '92".
