Japanese photographer Masao Mochizuki presents "Television 1975-1976," a photo collection by the late photographer Masao Mochizuki. A graduate of the fourth class of the Tokyo College of Photography, which has produced numerous renowned photographers, he was a contemporary of renowned Japanese photographer Issei Suda. While he maintained a relatively low profile during the 1970s and 1980s, a period when Japanese photography was at its peak globally, Mochizuki attracted the attention of the photography world with his 1998 solo exhibition of the same name, and was thrust into the spotlight with the publication of this book in 2001. From 1975 to 1976, he faced a television in his home darkroom, repeatedly shooting multiple exposures to embed 35 images on each 6x6cm plate. This daunting project involved shooting 200 plates over two years, totaling 7,000 shots. Through the world of television, a symbol of the era, the images portray historical facts and a mysterious kind of mandala. This unique collection of works, which also garnered attention after a solo exhibition at a prestigious New York gallery, also drew attention. (Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
