“Ai ni tsuite” (“About Love”), Sakiko Nomura’s 400-page strong declaration of love. Nomura, who started her career in 1991 as Nobuyoshi Araki’s assistant, selected images of 100 men she photographed during her 20 years as a photographer.
“Nothing is hidden in Sakiko Nomura’s nude photographs. There is only the space between her and her subjects. They are not her lovers; the relationships are limited to the photographs she takes. Yet sometimes she seems to reveal more than could ever be learned from living an entire everyday life together.”
