"Multiple Exposure / Ishimoto Yasuhiro: multi exposure" is a collection of works by American-born photographer Ishimoto Yasuhiro (1921-2012). Having studied at the Institute of Design, which traces its roots to the New Bauhaus founded by Lóholy-Nagy in Chicago, Ishimoto cultivated a sculptural visual style and experimental spirit, leaving behind representative works of postwar Japanese photography, such as "Katsura: Tradition and Creation in Japanese Architecture" and "Chicago, Chicago." This book is a catalog published in conjunction with the 2009 exhibition at Musashino Art University, which was Ishimoto's first-ever exhibition solely dedicated to color multiple exposure photography. It features a series that graced the cover of Takenaka Corporation's quarterly PR magazine "approach" from 1973, showcasing vivid images where multiple images are superimposed on a single frame, intertwining color, form, and time. It reveals another experimental side of Ishimoto, who is often associated with refined monochrome photography. The exhibition was held to commemorate the donation of 87 works from this series, and also includes an interview with Ishimoto and essays. Kohei Sugiura's art direction and the unique accordion-style bookbinding further highlight the continuity of the overlapping images.
