Description

About the Book

In AKARUIMIRAI, Japanese photographer Daisuke Matsumoto assembles a sequence of sharp, unsettling images that circle around conflict, mishap and human failure, suggesting a future in which the same mistakes are endlessly repeated. Responding to a world saturated with accidents, errors and breakdowns, his photographs oscillate between humour and cruelty, creation and destruction, as if the images themselves were constantly collapsing and rebuilding.

This compact photobook – a signed softcover edition of only 500 copies, measuring 220 × 148 mm and containing 24 pages with 16 photographs – condenses Matsumoto’s critical, punk-inflected view of contemporary society into an affordable, collectible object for lovers of Japanese photobooks and experimental art photography.
