In his photo volume 'Modoru Okinawa' by Keizo KITAJIMA, the Japanese photographer portrays the seductively run-down Okinawa of the 1970s. He mainly wanted to express the relationship between photography and reality.

In 'Eternal Chase' neither composition, exposure nor focal length are in focus, these are secondary. Tamiko NISHIMURA leaves it up to the object to show itself. In contrast to the spiritual expectation at the selection, she took a lot of time to fix it.

Rinko KAWAUCHI's volume in the 'Des Oiseux' series focuses - like the text by ornithologist Guilhem Lesaffre - on the way of life of swallows, their history, their south-north migration, the season of birth, and their special relationship with humans.

This paperback volume, 'Shomei Tomatsu. Japan 1952-1981' from 1984 is a very informative catalog on the work of the Japanese photographer due to its well-made, precise selection of black-and-white photos as well as the essays written in two languages.
