This singular corpus is made up of images in which the artist inserts himself. The series is made up of two sets: \u003cem\u003eLetters from Journeys\u003c\/em\u003e which presents photographs taken in 1989 in different cities around the world (Paris, London, Brussels, Antwerp, etc.), and \u003cem\u003ePrivate Scenes '92\u003c\/em\u003e which focuses on his daily life in Tokyo, where now each print is enhanced with colour paints, thus becoming a unique work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis final series bears witness to Fukase's questions about his own practice of photography at the end of his life, and the place of the photographer in his work, when subject and object overlap, also evoking the current practice of the selfie. Tomo Kosuga, director of the Masahisa Fukase Archives, and Masako Toda, historian of Japanese photography, explore this work through two essays.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masahisa Fukase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57448372568446,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/masahisa-fukase-private-scenes-front-cover.jpg?v=1779368266","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/private-scenes","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
