Araki with model]
By ARAKI, Nobuyoshi
Photograph, gelatin silver print (image: 295 × 232 m / 11.61 × 9.13 in. Paper: 310 × 254 mm / 12.2 × 10 in.) Light handling marks, two spots and shallow crease to bottom corner in margin. Small note in red pencil to margin, signed in pencil on verso with an annotation. Araki describes his photographs as being a collaboration between the photographer and the person being photographed. Adding, If you want to use words like invention and creation, they need to include these kinds of ideas. Photography is a joint enterprise. If you include the camera, there are three partners in crime. That s why I think of it as a ménage a trois (Self, Life, Death p.378). He often appears in his own photographs, referring to himself as Ararchy (a portmanteau word, combining Araki and anarchy ). Between 1983 and 1985, as the Japanese bubble economy was beginning to expand, Araki photographed extensively in and around the sex clubs and love hotels of the Kabuki-cho area of Tokyo s Shinjuku district, an area which holds a central position in post-war Japanese counter-culture. Araki s images captured the full blooming of this adult industry just before its curtailment by the New Amusement Business Control Act which came into force on 13 February 1985.
