Adieu A X by Takuma Nakahira
Photobook by Japanese photographer Takuma Nakahira.
After losing part of his memory and language ability due to acute alcohol poisoning, Nakahira continued to create works that denied the concept of "Are Bure Boke." This book is entirely shot in monochrome negatives, and while it is an extension of his previous work, "新たなる凝視 (New Gaze)" (1983), it also gives the impression that he is searching for a middle ground between his earlier works. You can also feel the overlap between Daido Moriyama's hardships and revival steps in the 10 years from "Farewell Photography" (1972) to "Light and Shadow" (1982).
─ Why did I decide to title this book ``Adieu a X''? To many "pictures" in this world and to various people. I dare say that I thought that this would be my last photo book, and suddenly I remembered "Abayo X" in French and decided on this title. ─Takuma Nakahira (From Afterword)
