Mapputatsu no Fukei (Divided Scenery) – July 20, 2017 By Naoya Hatakeyama Price: ¥4,180 (tax included) This book is published in response to the continued demand following the "Naoya Hatakeyama Photography Exhibition: Mapputatsu no Fukei," held at the Sendai Mediatheque from late 2016 to early 2017, which generated significant buzz. This book opens up the record and possibilities of the exhibition from the center of photographs (124 pages) and words (124 pages). The photography section includes works from various series taken over 30 years, such as the early work "Contour Lines," which had long been awaited for inclusion, and rare works that the artist says might not have been exhibited in this form without the Sendai Mediatheque, as well as valuable contact sheets. Furthermore, the groundbreaking composition, which also includes "photographs of the exhibition scenery taken by the artist himself," invites our bodies, which wander through each space of the photographs, back to the question of the origin of the scenery.
