Photo book "La Plaque Sensible (catalog)" by Risaku Suzuki, a photographer representing contemporary Japan. When you look at the recorded photos, you can feel strongly that the publisher, Akaakasha, is an ambitious work for photographers and publishers, to the extent that it calls out "the birth of a new masterpiece." The pioneers of 19th-century painting, who painted in an age when there were no photographs, met the advent of photography, and then explored new forms of painting, actually visited the places where they were produced, and Suzuki also visited and photographed them. The illustrations that were made are included. To search for "something" that can be felt from nature, such as the light, wind, and sky, rather than the question of which point or composition to draw. For Suzuki, the feeling of a painter, who is deprived of realism by photographs, what to search for in paintings, and what to continue to paint, is how pure his feelings are in photographs, without being bound by the past and without being bound by memories. It overlaps with the feeling of facing each other. This journey of thinking about the painter's memory was also a journey of thinking about the photographer, Risaku Suzuki. By the way, this is a pamphlet from the solo exhibition held at Canon Gallery in 2018, prior to the photo book published by Akaakasha in 2020. Includes 22 illustrations. Thin paper.
