Condition: Excellent- like new, sealed

Paris, 1971. At a biennale where young artists from around the world had gathered, Nakahira Takuma performed an experimental project that dared to ask, “what is expression?” He attempted to indiscriminately document a limited reality shaped by “date” and “place” and then immediately re-“circulate” these in reality. This would be the first materialization of his own photographic methodology.

Three essays by Takuma Nakahira:

“Photography, a Single Day’s Actuality” (February, 1972)

“The Exhaustion of Contemporary Art: My Participation in the Seventh Paris Biennale” (December 1971)

“Returning from Africa” (December 1971)

An essay by Akihito Yasumi (critic)

“Optical Remnants: Paris, 1971, Takuma Nakahira.”
