Nobuyoshi Araki is arguably Japan’s greatest living photographer
and certainly most controversial.
Featuring over 4,000 images, Self.Life.Death reflects
Araki’s extraordinary breadth of work - from the shocking
to the sublime – and includes new work never previously seen.
See his poetic scenes of old Tokyo, to evocative images of exotic
oriental flowers and erotic photographs of kimono-clad women bound
in rope.
The exhibition contains work of an adult nature.
We recommend the exhibition is unsuitable for children and parental
guidance is advised.
