Featuring the work of renowned talents as well as rising stars, this book is organized around the physical city and the role of the megalopolis as both the site and inspiration for an unprecedented explosion in the visual arts.

Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan
Christopher Phillips, Noriko Fuku
ICP/Steidl, New York 2008
Accompanying a major exhibition at the International Center of Photography, Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan explores the inventive imagery and unconventional sensibilities that characterize recent photobased art in Japan. [...] Heavy Light concentrates on four major themes that have come to preoccupy Japanese artists working with photography and video. These are the reshaping of Japanese tradition; the relation of nature to the manmade world; costume and the search for personal identity; and the child as cultural icon. The publication also features extended interviews with the exhibition artists.
