CAMP 1979, Keizo Kitajima(北島敬三) , SUPER LABO 2015

A raw dispatch from the streets at the height of Japan’s post-war photographic avant-garde. Made when Keizo Kitajima was in his twenties, CAMP 1979 distills the confrontational energy that defined his early practice. The book’s stark black-and-yellow printing amplifies images charged with movement, tension and proximity, capturing the atmosphere of urban Japan at the end of the 1970s. Long difficult to access, this publication revisits a pivotal moment in Japanese photography, when the street became both stage and battleground.
