"Nus Intimes" is a collection of works by Japanese female photographer Yuriko Takagi. Takagi consistently pursues the human body and the very essence of existence, known for capturing the texture and form of her subjects in tranquil yet intense detail. Her photographs transcend superficial beauty, evoking a sense of life and human depth through the body, earning her acclaim both in Japan and abroad. This book is a collection of monochrome nude photographs published in 1994, and, as the title suggests, attempts to explore the body as an "intimate nude." The fragments of the body that emerge with each page are sensual yet avoid excessive staging, exuding a quiet tension. French art historian Dominique Baquet contributed a preface, reinforcing the work's philosophical and aesthetic meaning. The composition, which intertwines an intimate distance with the subject and a cool, discerning eye, transcends the scope of a simple nude photobook and positions it as an artistic record that contemplates the body itself. A bilingual booklet is included.
