Doing so, he has captured the “life” his subjects possess as well as “death” inseparable from “life.” The varying weight of life and death felt in each photograph can be seen as a reflection of the fragility of human existence and of Araki’s own life, adding to the depth and appeal of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis exhibition selects, from among the vast number of photographs taken over the years, photographic works manipulated in some form to make us more strongly conscious of life and death and to blur the border between them. The works show him stepping outside conventions to try something new and looking with great honesty at photography and himself. The works, variously attempted as direct expressions of the desire for photography born from his emotions at different times, break free from conventional boundaries and take on new challenges, once again conveying Araki’s sincere attitude toward both photography and himself. Including new works such as Flower Cemetery, an homage to the flower artist Yukio Nakagawa (1918–2012) from Marugame City, this exhibition offers a glimpse into how Araki continues to engage passionately with photography—capturing both “life” and “death” through his lens.
