Conceived across nearly three decades, the work explores the tension between destruction and transformation, between what is lost and what remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eThe series juxtaposes two distinct bodies of images: photographs taken in the aftermath of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake in Kobe, and close studies of a partially burned industrial paper roll that Fugo found outside a fire-ravaged printing factory in Tokyo. In both, he searches for unexpected beauty in the ruins, forms that have been stripped of their function, worn by time or trauma, yet still resonate with presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1037\"\u003eThe Japanese word “kami” means both “god” and “paper” and this ambiguity forms the philosophical core of the work. In the face of natural disaster and human-made destruction, KAMI reflects on the fragility of matter, the absence of divinity, and the possibility of poetic reconstruction through photographic seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitoshi Fugo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510004982142,"sku":null,"price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Kami-by-Hitoshi-Fugo1.jpg?v=1780588319","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/kami","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
