A photo collection by Japanese female photographer Tamiko Nishimura, "Existence 1968-69 Situation Theater / Theatre de Situation". In 1973, she published "Shikishima", a collection of black and white images taken during her travels around Japan. She also collaborated with Daido Moriyama on his only nude photo collection, "Mayfly", taking landscape photos. Since then, Tamiko Nishimura has held numerous exhibitions and has been actively publishing photo books since 2000. This book is a collection of works published in 2011, and is composed of images from the "Situation Theater" taken when she was a student in the late 1960s. The "Situation Theater" was a theater group founded by Juro Kara and others, which led the underground theater boom in the 1960s and produced Akaji Maro, Simon Yotsuya, Jinpachi Nezu, Kaoru Kobayashi and others. In a rough-grained black and white world, the poison and madness, excessive passion and eroticism rise from the actors' bodies. This book captures the hustle and bustle of a turbulent time.
