Lost Home

Box with 10 photo-books and a poem booklet by Nobuyuki Isshiki. All revolving around the theme of the Lost Home.

This project responds to the "novel" theme by having ten photographers working in Japan and abroad produce a book of photographs under a set of conditions, and by comparing and examining the books, the project examines the differences in the approaches and expressions of the individual photographers. Although all the books use the same format, binding, and paper, the photographer is free to design everything about the book, from its layout to its cover and title. As a result, despite the limited volume, each book is a strong reflection of the artist's personality.

Participating photographers include Daido Moriyama, Takashi Homma, Christian Patterson, JH Engstrom, Terri Weifenbach, Slavica Perkovic, Ron Jude, HarveyBenge, Roe Ethridge, Bertien van 10 of Manen.
The novel was written for this project by one of Japan's leading screenwriters, Isshiki Nobuyuki, who has won the Japan Academy Award for Best Screenplay twice.
