From the publisher: #25. Kikuji Kawada: Mask: "Born in 1933, Kikuji Kawada is best known for his seminal 1965 book The Map ("Chizu" in Japanese), a disquieting exploration of the trauma of World War II and subsequent westernization of Japan. This series, as well as Kawada's subsequent bodies of work, has been exhibited and collected around the world, influencing generations of photographers. Mask is our third publication on the work of this extraordinary artist, and his first contribution to our One Picture Book series. Limited to 500 numbered copies, Mask presents for the first time all 11 images from this series of the same name that Kawada created in the mid-1970s. Mask is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist." #26.

Through digital photomontages, I juxtaposed old photographs retrieved from the family archives of my mother in her 20s and 30s, to reconstruct a new story and build the bridge, where she is me and I am her. I restaged my mother's photographs in the same location she had been photographed, wearing the same clothes and mimicking the same poses and expressions to reconnect with her spirit. My reconnection with my late mother became a substitute for the paucity of memory through visual manipulation. Thus, studying and visually emulating my adoption of the role of mother to my younger sister after our mother's death, as well as an exploration of masquerading strategies in autobiographical acts." -- Lebohang Kganye "We are thri.
