Yoshio Taniguchi: thriving in the shadow of greatness
Architect Yoshio Taniguchi generally doesn't like having his photograph taken for use in the media. In a way, it's a logical extension of his approach to his work, which could be described as architecture by subtraction. Having painstakingly removed everything extraneous from a design, and having overseen the creation of a building whose every element has been interrogated and found to be absolutely essential, why would he then allow it to be tainted through association with a face, a personality, an architect brand?

"Nobuyoshi Araki Ojo Shashu: Photography for the Afterlife — Faces, Skyscapes, Roads"
For renowned photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, a photograph is a way of expressing his thoughts on life, processed by taking snapshots of everyday moments. Through his fight with prostate cancer, however, along with the loss of his beloved cat Chiro — his only companion after the loss of his wife — and the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Araki has, at the age of 74, begun to be concerned more with death, his own in particular. It is this theme that he has taken up in his latest exhibition of images taken between 1963 and 2008, with the work in the three sections — "Faces," "Skyscapes" and "Roads" — revealing Araki's thoughts on life, and death; April 22-June 29.
