About the Book

In Symphony – mushrooms from the forest, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma presents a haunting visual archive of mushrooms gathered from forests affected by radioactive contamination in Scandinavia, Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Stony Point. Inspired by Ed Ruscha’s “Coloured People” series, Homma isolates the mushrooms against clean white backgrounds, combining these studies with subtle landscape views encountered during his foraging journeys. This 296-page photobook explores themes of ecological trauma, the aesthetics of nature under threat, and the delicate interaction between human history and the primal forest landscape. Shortlisted for the 2020 Paris Photo – Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards, the book is both a poetic document and a scientific testimony. Bilingual in English and Japanese.
