Book of the Day: "Tokyo-Koza" by Keizo Kitajima

From the distributor: "Japanese photographer Keizo Kitajima's (born 1954) two series, Photographs of Okinawa (1975–79) and Tokyo 1979, [collected in this book, Tokyo-Koza], share a deep continuity in spirit and approach, revealing the foundations of his raw, immersive photographic language. Both series emerge from Kitajima's direct participation in the worlds he depicts—whether amid the humid streets and bars of post-reversion Okinawa or the restless nightlife of Tokyo's underground. Shot in stark black and white with harsh flash, the images expose moments of vulnerability and intensity within Japan's shifting social landscape. Although each series was originally self-published separately, Kitajima later announced that their intentions and conclusions are the same. With three different cover colors—pink, blue and green—this publication collides the two series together in oversize format, with images as raw and fresh as when first photographed some 50 years ago."

Book of the Day: "Dwellings - Fragile Architecture"

From the publisher: "A photographic study of over 1,000 distinct bird nests. Steely-vented hummingbird, red-rumped cacique, wallace’s fairy wren, streaky-breasted spiderhunter ... enigmatic names or terms, familiar only to ornithologists. This book is about the nests of these and many other bird species, the bizarre, incredibly fragile, interlaced creations cemented together with grass, clay, leaves and a variety of other materials that birds assemble to lay their eggs, incubate, and raise their offspring. Karen Weinert's pictures combine artistic and documentary photography, natural science and museology from the Senckenberg Natural History Collection in Dresden, which mainly dates back to the 19th century and contains an impressive collection of around 1,000 bird nests from all over the world.She uses three different photographic methods: black and white photography in the abstract Blossfeldt style, color photography in a neutral documentary style, and scanning technology with which she scans found (abandoned) nests. The approximately 100 miniature habitats shown in this collection exemplify the immense variety of forms and construction techniques of these fantastic dwelling structures." Book of the day.
