"Operation Olympiad" is a collection of works by Italian artist Alessandro Perini. Yumi Goto, a world-renowned photo editor and current founder of the "Reminders Project Stronghold," a multi-purpose organization based in Mukojima, Tokyo, that fosters and discovers new photographers through workshops and exhibitions, is a leading figure in the field. Perini participated in a photobook production workshop called "Photobook as an Object" organized by Goto and Jan Russell, and this book was produced as part of that project. While the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were in the works, many of us today are unaware that the 1940 Olympics were also planned for Tokyo. The cancellation was due to the Second Sino-Japanese War and the military's desire to avoid the theft of supplies. However, the military's threat to the 2020 Olympics was undeniable. Drawing on surviving documents and copies, this book explores unknown facts from the past and invites us to consider whether the fusion of militarism and sport is even possible in the run-up to the 2020 Olympics. After 39 hand-bound editions, this popular edition was published by an Italian publisher in a limited run of 500 copies.
