Araki: Self, Life, Death

Kulturhuset, Stockholm shows Nobuyoshi Araki until 27 January 2008. Araki is one of the most controversial and influential photographers today. With indefatigable energy he challenges subjects that are taboo, such as sexuality and death. The exhibition with nearly 4,000 photos gives an extensive insight into Araki’s 40-year-long career, and the three themes – Self, Life and Death – that recur throughout his oeuvre. Many of his key works are represented, from the 1960s until today. Araki has devoted his life to portraying Tokyo, the city where he lives and works – and is reluctant to leave.
