Originally published in 1971, this seminal monograph by Eikoh Hosoe explores the human figure through a lens of surrealism and abstraction. The stark, high-contrast black-and-white compositions transform the anatomy into sculptural landscapes, reflecting the artist's preoccupation with the intersection of the physical body and the metaphysical realm. This 1982 edition preserves the evocative intensity of Hosoe's original vision, cementing its status as a cornerstone of postwar Japanese avant-garde photography.
