Summary:
Nobuyoshi Araki constructs a darkly phantasmagorical realm of flowers, plastic dolls, toy animal figurines, and more in this series of 75 black-and-white photographs. Brimming with his recognisable motifs and erotic symbolism, the carefully arranged still-lifes are interspersed with portraits of people like Umezu Kazuo, Setouchi Jakucho, Lady Gaga, and Araki’s muse, Kaori. With bizarre tableaus that mix anthropomorphic imagery with themes like sex, aging, death, and primal appetites, Araki plunges us into the midst of a tangible dementia.

Summary:
Hanezawa Garden is a walled garden in Tokyo, between thick foliage, slender bamboo and semi-inhabited outhouses, their plastic roofs heavy with leaves, as if reclaimed by the jealous trees. This book by Swedish photographer Anders Erdström documents the garden and peripheral details: a sealed cardboard box, lingering on a sill, or the receding body of a workman. Hanezawa Garden was demolished by the real estate developer Mitsubishi Estate in 2012, despite countless attempts by local residence to preserve the house and gardens.

Summary:
Through a reading of the landscape and the topographical structure, Mathias Klotz implements his architectural programme with plastic sensitivity, confirming the importance of the construction and the materials. His reference models range from those of Mies van der Rohe and of those architects active in California after World War II. The Ponce house in Buenos Aires is one of the best expressions of his talent, which shows his skill as an architect who is coherent in his choice of materials, confident in employing them and overt in exhibiting them. Photographs by Alberto Piovano.
