■ "kontrapunkt" Suzuki Takashi

This is the first photo book by photographer Suzuki Takashi, who is strongly influenced by German contemporary photography such as that of Thomas Ruff. His work explores the act of looking at a photograph and the process by which the viewer perceives the work, and this highly experimental book weaves together his conceptual work "BAU," which uses everyday sponges, with snapshots selected to resonate with it.
