KITAJIMA, Keizo

Shashin Tokkyubin Tokyo / Photomail from Tokyo

Tokyo: Paroru-sha (1980). First Edition. Small quarto. "Camp" poster bound in at front. While Kitajima's black and white photographs of Tokyoites have a decidedly Provoke sensibility, his color images signal a move away from Provoke towards a more Punk worldview. This transition becomes evident in Kitajima's next book, New York, which documents New York's East Village scene in the early eighties. Near fine in wrappers in a near fine jacket.
