Background information
The out-of-print photographic volume 'Dildo' by Japanese photographer Momo OKABE is the result of a four year project photographing two young women (both her former lovers) struggling with issues of gender identity. One finally has her breasts removed, the other travels to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery. Their odyssey from women to men is a nonlinear documentation juxtaposing tightly constructed landscapes and still lives littered with decay and debris, alongside portraits and snapshots loaded with gender ambiguity.
Content
The spiral-bound photo book 'Dildo' by Momo OKABE contains full-page color photographs, carefully tipped in and uniformly facing each other in a ring bound album all muted in grain and the warm hues of her distinctive palette.
Additional information
The photo volume 'Dildo' by Momo OKABE, was published in a very limited edition of only 55 copies which fitts to the hand-developed intimate, artistic photographs.
