c/o Kodoji Press, Booth E03 Grand Palais, Paris. November 7 thru 10, 2024.

17 by Takashi Homma: During 2023 the influential Japanese photographer, Takashi Homma, completed an extended photoessay on artist, Raiki Yamamoto. Born in 2006, Raiki’s interdisciplinary work includes painting, sculpture, installation and performance pieces. Her first solo show Untitled1 was shown at Galerie Tenko Presents in 2022, an important new gallery run by Tenko Nakajima Glenewinkel that hosts international artists in off-sites spaces around Tokyo. Her work was also included in group shows at 4649 and Agnes B. Gallery in Tokyo in 2022 and 2023, respectively. She lives and works between Kamakura and Tokyo. Takashi Homma is one of the most important contemporary photographers working in Japan. Homma’s work examines the nuances of Tokyo’s suburban districts, its urban centre, its surrounding landscapes, and its people - exploring a tender and discreet discourse on his hometown. Homma has published numerous photography books and in 1999 was awarded the prestigious Kimura Ihei Commemorative Photography Award for his project, Tokyo Suburbia (1998), his formative work that is now considered a classic.

Sunbeam by Nick Sethi: Part of an ongoing series of books on photography and drawing published by Dashwood in the form of paperback novellas. “The pictures in Sunbeam are here to bring you light. They were carefully chosen from my growing archive of over 200,000 images made in India for both their formal and spiritual qualities, and date from 2006-2024. Each contains their own distinct properties meant to guide, heal, and protect, which intensify exponentially when in dialogue with each other.” NS Sethi is an artist and commercial/fashion photographer based in New York. His practice has a strong emphasis on publishing, with a prolific output of 60+ publications, 9 of which have been in collaboration with Dashwood Books and/or Dashwood Projects, our gallery space at 63 East 4th in New York’s East Village.
