Nobuyoshi Araki | Impossible Love – Vintage Work

The Berlin exhibition on the prolific and controversial Japanese photographer put together the Tokyo series from his early works with a selection of his recent Polaroid collages and slide shows. The images explore the contradictions between anonymity and intimacy, public and private, reality and dream.
Nobuyoshi Araki is one of the most influential and widely discussed artists in the world whose work deals with nakedness, sexuality, and the body in a radical and realistic way. His work concentrates on a sexuality that is lived out in complete openness. In depicting this, the artist never denounces or accuses, but instead leaves all interpretation up to the viewer.
