"Raw Power Zine" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Tatsuro Suzuki (1965-). He began seriously pursuing photography around 2008, capturing the tension and impulses emanating from real people on the streets of Tokyo in intense monochrome. In addition to publishing the photobook "Friction / Tokyo Street" with Steidl, he is also active as a member of the photography collective VoidTokyo. The title of this work comes from "Raw Power," a masterpiece album by The Stooges, the punk rock band that Suzuki has been familiar with since his youth and in which he played guitar. Following his previous work "Tōsei - The Sound of Waves," which explored the cycle and regeneration of life using water as a motif against the backdrop of personal loss, this work delves even deeper into the raw vitality lurking within human beings. Street snapshots and portraits intersect, and from the images where bodies, gazes, and expressions collide, the uncontrollable energy of people surviving in the city emerges. This book re-examines the essence of his own photography, connecting the punk spirit that is his origin with his current photographic expression, showcasing a new direction for Suzuki.
