Akira GOMI "Yellows 1.0"

Oct. 10 - 25, 2008
The series of "Yellows" was started for the magazine "PLAYBOY ( JAPAN )" by a photographer Akira Gomi in 1991. They were nude photographs of Japanese women in the 1990s. But the project was cancelled after two months, because of the problem of pubic hair. The pictures were supposed to be published as a monograph "Yellows 1.0" later, but it was stopped after it was all printed, because of the problem of pubic hair again.
We will exhibit the original vintage prints from "Yellows 1.0". The photographs of 56 women are put into 10 frames. And we will show a byobu-style work which is made of digital prints.
