Tsukiyo by Sakiko Nomura
Publisher: LibroArte, 2023
Binding Softcove, 32 pages
Book Size 280 × 210 mm
In Sakiko Nomura's "Tsukiyo," flowers adorning the grave of her mother intersect with nudes of an enigmatic young male model, photographs of Tokyo, and snapshots of animals and streets. With the solemn gentleness that characterizes much of her work, Nomura brings her subjects and motifs together to create a rich yet elusive atmosphere. Her ability to use images to reflect on the nature of the relationship between Eros and Thanatos, beauty and transience, is paralleled, perhaps only by her former mentor, Nobuyoshi Araki.
