"Death Reality" is a photo collection by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's leading photographers. This book is a photo collection using corroded film, and although it is a snapshot of everyday life, the corrosion has given the image a terrifying appearance. Life and death are always present when talking about Araki. While there are vivid nudes that seem to represent life, art critic Toshiharu Ito has commented that Araki "has a strange tendency to approach the existence of death." In his book "A Journey to Photography," Araki himself states that "photography is a copy of my reality," and that the relationship between the other person and himself "screams my reality, or the reality of death." However, it seems that life and death are always intertwined in the photographs (consciousness), and this book also seems to contain a hidden danger that could darken everyday life. From the publisher: "Is this the underworld, or a world of nightmares? The images are searing and burned into each volume. And they evoke nostalgic emotions. A sweet tour of hell woven with surreal images on the border between dream and awakening. A completely new photo collection that breaks the image of Araki."
