Takuma Nakahira was a founding member of the hugely influential Provoke movement which also included Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki and Shomei Tomatsu. This retrospective of his work shows two seemingly completely different styles due to the fact the Nakahira was struck suddenly with amnesia. During recovery, he moved to Yokohama and it was there he recalled his passion for photography and started a second life as a photographer. Although there is a discontinuity between the photos taken before and after his memory loss, Nakahira's straightforward candor with his subject is consistent. "I believe that photographiy is neither creation nor memory, but documents. The act of shooting a photograph is not something abtract. It is always concrete. No manipulation to make simple things complicated through conceptualization. Only the real I encountered through the medium of the camera is here in my photographs. Item #1650
