Item number 057-09879
»Araki 67 years old, a counterattack of 6 x 7 cameras and film photographs against digital photography. A counterattack of a girl with muscular dystrophy, against ordinary girls. A counterattack of an ugly girl against a beautiful girl like an announcer. As for “Beauty” spoken, this is like a fixed illusion that someone has developed. After all, I want to take photographs of “real women,” lives full of faults and with a dirty side. That’s why I have been taking such women for a long time.« (Nobuyoshi Araki)
