Publisher: LibroArte, 2023
Binding: Softcover, 32 pages
Book Size280 × 210 mm
"Tombstone Pile Driver" is a return to Osamu Kanemura's artistic origins. Despite his recent diversification into video production, digital photography, and handmade publications, the core of his creative work remains firmly rooted in manual film photography. In "Tombstone Pile Driver," Kanemura delves into previously unpublished material he captured in Tokyo during the 1990s. He painstakingly fills every page with photographs, allowing viewers to absorb the intricate and somewhat chaotic beauty of Tokyo's architectural landscape, characterized by its complex interplay of lines and surfaces. The outcome is an overwhelming experience, akin to having one's head forcefully driven into the ground.
