Summary:

Photo Express Tokyo is a facsimile of the legendary series of twelve booklets published by Keizo Kitajima on the occasion of his exhibition "Photo Express: Tokyo" at CAMP gallery in Tokyo in 1979. The booklets were numbered from one to twelve and one was released each month for a year. Each contained sixteen pages of photographs from Kitajima's legendary nocturnal wanderings in Tokyo and conveys the spirit of the happenings he organized at the time. Kitajima's original booklets have now become cult objects, and this new edition is set to become a collector's item. Keizo Kitajima was born in Nagano, Japan, in 1954, and through working with Daido Moriyama he discovered CAMP gallery in Toyko. Kitajima has exhibited and published extensively throughout his career. In 2001 he created the Photographers' Gallery in Tokyo as a venue for exhibitions, debates and publishing. -- (from Amazon)
On the occasion of the exhibition "Tokyo-e", Steidl and LE BAL republish in facsimile Photo Express: Tokyo, a mythical series of 12 booklets by Keizo Kitajima, as well as a thirteenth unpublished booklet. Punk black and white fanzines, these publications result from his remarkable work exhibited from January to December 1979, at the CAMP gallery in Tokyo, the first independent photographic gallery in the city. The publication of the booklets was done monthly in parallel with performance exhibitions in the space. At that time, every month, a new selection of images saturated the gallery walls from floor to ceiling: grids of images or enlarged prints, unexpectedly, in the wake of the shooting and almost in real time. To create these images, Kitajima shot at night, walking around the streets, bars and clubs of Tokyo, capturing the buzzing energy of the city. It's all this raw urban energy of a long gone era that is captured in this incredible and sold out publication! -- (publisher's description)
