Items related to Izima Kaoru: The Architecture: Landscapes with a Corpse
Edgar Allan Poe wrote, "The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world." Ophelia, Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina are evidence that other writers and artists have agreed. Fusing Poe's sentiment with the Buddhist imperative to muse daily on one's own death, Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru asks Japanese and European actresses and models to collaborate with him in staging their own demises. The resulting images bring a melancholic palate and impeccable technique to an assortment of figures who have expired with perfect "coiffure"--made up and sporting couture by such designers as Vivienne Westwood, Gucci, Prada and Dior. There is something filmic about Kaoru's framing, which alternates between long shot and close-up, yet the narrative remains shadowy. This volume assembles for the first time 43 such scenes from 1993 to the present. They are influenced by art historical references ranging from traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodcuts to contemporary Pop.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -»Der Tod einer schönen Frau ist ohne Zweifel das poetischste Thema der Welt«, schrieb Edgar Allan Poe. Der Japaner Izima Kaoru lässt die Schönsten der Schönen Ideen zur eigenen Vergänglichkeit, zum eigenen Sterben entwickeln und übersetzt diese dann in Bilder. Seine hoch ästhetischen Fotografien nähern sich von einer klassischen, strengen Landschaftsaufnahme ausgehend, langsam den in perfekter Schönheit gestorbenen Opfern eigener oder fremder Gewalt an, bis hin zur detaillierten Nahaufnahme der Gesichter. »Landscapes with a Corpse« versammelt erstmals alle seit 1993 entstandenen Foto-Epen Kaorus. Malerisch arrangiert werden darin japanische Filmdiven und Models, aber auch europäische Darstellerinnen wie Barbara Rudnik oder Helena Noguerra in ewiger Jugend und in Roben von Prada, Gucci oder Dior. Die visuellen Anleihen reichen dabei vom traditionellen japanischen Farbholzschnitt Ukiyo-e bis zur Pop Art - das Ergebnis ist immer von betörender melancholischer Schönheit und Traurigkeit.
