{"product_id":"araki-by-araki-9783836551120","title":"Araki by Araki","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecades worth of images have been distilled down to 568 pages of photographs in this ultimate retrospective collection of Nobuyoshi Arakis work  selected by the artist himself. First published as a limited edition and now available as a standard TASCHEN edition  the curation delves deep into Arakis best-known imagery: Tokyo street scenes; faces and foods; colorful  sensual flowers; female genitalia; and the Japanese art of kinbaku  or bondage. As girls lay bound but defiant and glistening petals assume suggestive shapes  Araki plays constantly with patterns of subjugation and emancipation  death and desire and with the slippage between serene image and shock. Describing his bondage photographs as a collaboration between the subject and the photographer  Araki seeks to come closer to his female subjects through photography  emphasizing the role of spoken conversation between himself and the model. In his native Japan  he has attained cult status for many women who feel liberated by his readiness to photograph the expression of their desire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45924400234549,"sku":"ByrdShop_3836551128","price":336.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783836551120.jpg?v=1787669033","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/araki-by-araki-9783836551120","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
