"Self-Portraits (Second Printing)" is a photobook by Yurie Nagashima, one of Japan's leading female photographers. In "empty white room" (1995), she photographed her friends and playmates; in "Family" (1998), as the title suggests, she captured the daily life of her own family; in "Not Six" (2004), she photographed her husband; and in "SWISS," she photographed her life abroad with her children. Nagashima has captured her own feelings through photographs depicting those close to her. She won the Ihei Kimura Award in 2000 and the Kodansha Essay Award in 2015 for her essay collection "Memories of My Back," demonstrating her exceptional literary talent as well as her artistic sensibility. This book is a paperback edition published in 2020 by a New York bookstore and publisher, and is her first photobook in a long time. She began taking self-portraits of her own volition as a reaction against the hair nude boom of the 1990s. Since then, these works have evolved into a series with various meanings, serving as a record of herself and at times as a means of advocating feminism. Published in 2021, 2nd printing.
