"Abandon / Hope" is a photo book by British musician and artist David Sylvian. Born in 1958, Sylvian first became known as the frontman of the band Japan before pursuing experimental and poetic musical expression as a solo artist, expanding his scope to include photography, video, installations, and other visual arts. Like his music, his work is characterized by a serene, introspective, and sometimes abstract worldview. This two-volume photo book, produced in conjunction with his solo exhibitions "Abandon" and "Hope," held simultaneously in Tokyo and Okayama in 2013, features works from those exhibitions. The images, which interweave cityscapes, nature, people, and objects, delve into layers of emotion and memory through fragments of everyday life. The tranquil page layout and beautiful white space allow readers to fully appreciate Sylvian's unique world of expression, where the sensibility of a musician and the gaze of a photographer resonate. Limited to a limited edition of 700 copies.
