Description: publisher/published: Iwanami Shoten/1985 format/pages/size: Hardcover /-/298*313*10 Venice - Nightscapes" is a collection of works by Kazutaka Narahara, a leading postwar Japanese photographer. While his fellow "VIVO" photographers, including Shomei Higashimatsu and Eikoh Hosoe, who created a new wave of postwar Japanese photography, were based in "Japan" and created numerous documentaries and avant-garde photographs, Narahara had been actively traveling abroad since the 1960s, making numerous trips to Europe ("Still Time" (1967), "Spain, Great Afternoon" ( (1969)) and the United States ("The Joy of Living" (1972) and "Vanishing Time" (1975)). This book is similarly set abroad and is composed of illustrations taken in Venice, Italy, the "City of Water," where he spent nearly 10 years from 1973, during which time the shadow of "death" fluttered around him, including his relatives and friends, and he sought to break away from the presence of death in this splendid realm of darkness. To put away the signs of death, he was absorbed in the Venetian night and continued to capture the "light," which seemed to be inhabited by eternal life.
