Life is always lived for the first time. Life is, indeed, a process of encountering “firsts” time and time again.
His mother’s death; the songs of life heard sounding out from beyond insect’s-eye views of women’s underwear; questions about what it means to live as flesh, as a human being—all these are juxtaposed in this collection as Ohashi documents his encounters with his “firsts.” The things that he finds there in front of him for the first time become his photographs, in the same raw, inimitable style that prompted Nobuyoshi Araki to call his debut series “gut-wrenching.”
Photographer Jin Ohashi was born in 1972 in Kanagawa Prefecture. He received the eighth Canon New Cosmos of Photography Excellence Award, juried by Nobuyoshi Araki, in 1992. He is the author of the collections Me no mae no tsuzuki (Going On from What’s in Front of Us; Seigensha, 1999), Ima (Now; Seigensha, 2005), and Surrendered Myself to the Chair of Life (Akaaka, 2012).
