NOBUYOSHI ARAKI

MONSTROUS PARADISE
Nobuyoshi Araki, born 1940 in Tokyo, is a photographer and contemporary artist. 

Araki has published over 500 books. He is known primarily for his photography, which revolves around female eroticism and his fascination with Tokyo, Japan’s capital. Notorious for pictures that are both spectacularly compelling and shockingly obscene, Araki has an unearthly ability to make anything and everything appear erotic. His controversial body of work featuring provocative depictions of female eroticism, bondage, and fetishism, has seen his oeuvre described as both erotic and pornographic.
The photo on the left shows Araki signing "Monstrous Paradise". This project was made from 2015 to 2017, especially for the ECC-Collection and some of the photos out of this project are presented here below.
