瀧本幹也、矢後直規聯展——「Re-Works」

提及日本商業攝影界的代表人物，瀧本幹也無疑是其中最耀眼的巨星。

他不僅與知名導演是枝裕和合作，以《我的意外爸爸》、《海街日記》攝影指導身份，摘下坎城影展評審團大獎及日本電影學院最佳攝影獎，更在廣告領域創作無數經典。

從 TOYOTA 廣告中讓《終極追殺令》的尚·雷諾化身哆啦A夢，到 Calorie Mate 廣告裡滿島光的驚豔亮相，再到麒麟啤酒與日本郵便中坂本龍一的迷人身影，不僅塑造了經典品牌形象，更將創意與才華深深烙印在不同世代的人們心中。

今年十月，瀧本幹也將與 JAGDA 新人賞得主矢後直規首度於 moom bookshop 舉辦聯展——「Re-Works」。矢後直規不僅為 RADWIMPS、菅田將暉等知名藝人設計過唱片封面，也操刀過篠山紀信和瀧本幹也的攝影集設計；矢後與瀧本兩人長期合作的默契與成果，更是透過《CROSSOVER》及《Mikiya Takimoto Works 1998-2023》兩部經典攝影集廣為人知。

在本次「Re-Works」中，將攝影與設計巧妙融合的兩人不僅會展出特地為展覽創作的全新作品，以及矢後直規設計的 10 款瀧本幹也精選作品海報；此外，限量特裝版的《Mikiya Takimoto Works 1998-2023》及瀧本幹也全新攝影集《LUMIÈRE》和《PRIÈRE》也將首度登陸台灣，在 moom bookshop 亮相！

現場同步販售多款精美周邊商品，誠摯邀請喜愛攝影與設計藝術的您前來欣賞兩位大師的聯合創作。

🎥📖'The Town You Live In: Reprinted Edition'

🎥📖'The Town You Live In: Reprinted Edition' by Yoshiyuki Okuyama @yoshiyukiokuyama
・
Travel just a little back in time to see some of Japan’s brightest stars—and the fast-changing city of Tokyo—as they once were.
・
Each photo, shot as though in a jam session with the subject based on a close process of dialogue and rapport-building, captures the actress with a sparkling look on her face that she reveals nowhere else. The synergy between the stars’ magic and Okuyama’s creative talents gives rise to a gem of a series that Okuyama himself treasures for having inspired a breakthrough in his own art. Another “star” of the series is Tokyo itself: with their inimitable outlook and graphical compositions, Okuyama’s Polaroid shots of the city offer a valuable record of its appearance before the 2020 Olympics even as they stand as one-of-a-kind images in their own right.

This edition preserves the layout of the original while thoroughly reworking the printing process and giving a new color to the cover among other updates, resulting in a nostalgic yet fresh encounter with thirty-five actresses—and the city of Tokyo—as they were a decade or so ago.

New🚀 'Keiichi Tanaami: Adventures in Memory'
・
Six decades of wild, dynamic images: a look into the fantastic mind of Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024) through more than 600 spectacular color plates.
@keiichitanaami_official
・
In 1975 Keiichi Tanaami became the founding art director of the Japan edition of 'Playboy,' gaining attention for his innovative graphic design. His unique philosophy that printed materials are not reproductions, but rather an infinite number of original works led him to express himself through a wide range of mediums, including paintings, silkscreens, collages, animation, experimental films, objets d’art, and installations.

His passion for expression knew no bounds: from the 2000s onward he worked with fashion brands and musicians, created 700 Picasso-inspired paintings during the Covid-19 pandemic, and “collaborated” with the works of the late manga artist #FujioAkatsuka.

Today Tanaami's work is garnering renewed international attention, and this definitive collection covers the more than six decades of his career, including through 600 plates of his earliest to last works. This is supplemented by an extensive number of valuable visual and textual materials and essays giving insight into his oeuvre from a range of perspectives.

📸🗼'The Town You Live In: Reprinted Edition' by Yoshiyuki Okuyama @yoshiyukiokuyama

Travel just a little back in time to see some of Japan’s brightest stars—and the fast-changing city of Tokyo—as they once were.
・
Since 2010, Yoshiyuki Okuyama has pursued a prolific career as a photographer and filmmaker, actively publishing and exhibiting his own works on the one hand while also creating a memorable body of projects on commission on the other. 'The Town You Live In,' featuring young actresses photographed in various locations around Tokyo, was originally serialized for three years in the magazine 'Eyescream;' issued in book form by Space Shower Networks in 2017, it attracted attention for its impressive lineup of stars as well as for Okuyama’s use of a simple Polaroid camera, among other innovative techniques, to bring out new dimensions of their appeal.

Now, that book, which has fallen out of print in the seven years since, returns in a new edition under a new publisher.

🪑Another new book on the modern design legend:

🪑Another new book on the modern design legend: 'Poul Kjærholm: Timeless Minimalism'
・
From a Japanese collection: masterpieces of unparalleled minimalism and beauty of form by “furniture architect” Poul Kjærholm.
・
Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980) is counted among the giants of modern Scandinavian furniture design. While mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian furniture is typically associated with the warmth of wood, Kjærholm’s designs were marked by highly disciplined forms shaped from hard stone and metal; his works harmonize well with Japanese architecture, which perhaps explains why he is so well embraced by connoisseurs in the country.

This book presents the collection of one such enthusiast, Noritsugu Oda, who specializes in chairs. Some fifty masterpieces along with a wealth of valuable design drawings and archival photographs trace Kjærholm’s career from his beginnings under the noted furniture designer Hans J. Wegner to his death at the age of fifty-one.

“The chair must have a natural shape in keeping with the material and the tools used for it, so that it is constructively evident,” Kjærholm once wrote. “The chair must excite an aesthetical pleasure.” The works of this self-styled “furniture architect” exhibit a consummate minimalism and beauty, and this definitive volume distills the quintessence of his aesthetic sophistication and design philosophy.
