Book of the day > Emily Shur: Super Extra Natural! Published by Kehrer Verlag @kehrerverlag. "American photographer Emily Shur’s book Super Extra Natural! is a collection of images made in Japan between 2004 and 2016. What began as a one-time getaway possessing no agenda beyond experiencing something new expanded into a long-term body of work that has resulted in over 15 trips to various parts of the country. However, these images are not a documentation of a place. They are explorations of an unspoken connection; a state of mind that has become its own version of a vacation. Initially, Shur was not exactly sure what kept drawing her back to Japan, but she found a personal feeling of freedom and peace there. She says: "Everything made sense. Lines, shapes, light, and color fit together like a math equation that added up to what still feels like a supernatural high.'"
