Polart is a collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. Instead of "photography being a medium," Araki becomes a medium. The magazine "Shashin Jidai" was published with this message. In the 1980s, the famous editor Akira Suei wanted to create a magazine about Araki, a magazine centered on Araki, whose existence itself is a medium. The magazine was published in hundreds of thousands of copies each time, and is now a legendary photography magazine. It was a collaboration with Araki and others, with eroticism, drawing on "photographs that cannot be included in photography theory" and "photographs that cannot be featured in camera magazines." The 1980s was the time when the talent of Nobuyoshi Araki, an artist who went beyond the boundaries of photography, was awakened by his collaboration with Suei, with concepts, theme setting, comical photography, unique works, unique catchphrases and writing. His performance has not waned in recent years, and this is a collection of his work published by the now defunct Rat Hole Gallery. It is a book of over 500 pages, containing about 1000 Polaroids, and can be called the "definitive edition of Nobuyoshi Araki's Polaroid works." Limited to 1500 copies.
