"Akino Sakurako Photobook: Shanghai & Bali" by Japanese photographer Hajime Sawada (1940–). Active since the 1960s, Sawada has presented a unique image of women that moves between performance and reality, as exemplified by "Girl Alice." He has continued to explore the relationship between body and space, traversing fashion photography and personal expression. In this work, set in the different locations of Shanghai and Bali, model Akino Sakurako is the subject, and the state of the body placed within cities and landscapes unfolds as diverse images. While the atmosphere and light of foreign lands serve as a backdrop, the images, woven together through gaze, poses, and composition, are not merely a record of locations, but are imbued with Sawada's unique narrative quality and tension. This book quietly reveals the relationship between seeing and performing in a place where landscape and body intersect.
