In 1968, a magazine with the programmatic title Provoke was published in Tokyo by the photographer and writer Takuma Nakahira, the art critic Koji Taki and other members. Investigating the relation between photography and text, the magazine was an artistic and philosophical manifesto, responding to the upheavals of the late sixties. The Japanese Box features faithful facsimiles of six books: Three issues of Provoke and three seminal publications that it spawned "For a Language to Come" by Takuma Nakahira, "Sentimental Journey" by Nobuyoshi Araki and "A Farewell to Photography" by Daido Moriyama. All stored in a black wooden box, wrapped in paper, large rubber bands and a booklet with an essay by Akihito Yasumi, bios on the provoke members. Item #2250
