"Creatures (Signed, With Postcard)" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Jun Abe. He has been active as a street photographer since the 1980s. Born in Osaka in 1955, he studied photography at the Visual Arts College. In the 1980s, he toured Europe, including Indonesia, the Philippines, as a video staff member for the dance group Byakkosha. Since 2000, he has been teaching at his alma mater while also running his own publishing company, and has published numerous photo collections such as "Osaka," "Citizens," "1981," "Busan," and "Black and White Notebook." The snapshots taken on the street by his unique camera eye perfectly capture the expressions, emotions, and strange moments of the subjects, making them interesting, cool, and beautiful. This book is one of his early representative works published in the 1980s. It depicts a strange scene when you think about it, where "animals" that were supposed to have been born in "nature" by the hand of God are living in cages that were "artificially" constructed. Is it happy? Is it unhappy? This documentary follows a situation where no one knows the truth and is in limbo. Postcard included. Signed by the photographer .
