First published in 1986 and reissued here by MACK with a newly commissioned essay by Tomo Kosuga, this bilingual edition restores the intensity and context of a body of work long considered among the most important in photographic history. Shot between 1975 and 1986 in the wake of Fukase’s divorce, \u003cem data-end=\"504\" data-start=\"496\"\u003eRavens\u003c\/em\u003e unfolds across the coastal darkness of Hokkaido, where flocks of crows—blurred, glinting, feral—become allegories of loss, madness, and solitary vision. It began, reportedly, with a mournful train ride. What followed was not just a document of existential isolation but a collapse of the boundary between author and subject: Fukase became the raven, as Kosuga writes, “frozen by his camera and immortalized on the cover of his most famous book.” The 2017 edition re-situates the work inside Fukase’s biography—his collapse in 1992, his two-decade coma, and his posthumous canonisation—while reproducing the images with a quiet, undiminished violence. This is not just a photobook; it is an afterlife in pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1620\" data-start=\"1216\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1235\" data-start=\"1216\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1238\" data-start=\"1235\"\u003eTitle: Ravens\u003cbr data-end=\"1254\" data-start=\"1251\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Masahisa Fukase\u003cbr data-end=\"1289\" data-start=\"1286\"\u003eDate: Originally 1986, this edition 2017\u003cbr data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"1332\" data-start=\"1329\"\u003eEdition: MACK facsimile with new material\u003cbr data-end=\"1376\" data-start=\"1373\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-end=\"1414\" data-start=\"1411\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with slipcase\u003cbr data-end=\"1460\" data-start=\"1457\"\u003eDimensions (cm): Approx. 24 × 26\u003cbr data-end=\"1495\" data-start=\"1492\"\u003eLanguage: English, Japanese\u003cbr data-end=\"1525\" data-start=\"1522\"\u003ePages: [Please confirm]\u003cbr data-end=\"1551\" data-start=\"1548\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: MACK\u003cbr data-end=\"1578\" data-start=\"1575\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-910164-83-9\u003cbr data-end=\"1604\" data-start=\"1601\"\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605004284242,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_0e786b1e-5772-46e0-b98d-c504b84f069a.jpg?v=1769893107","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/ravens-masahisa-fukase-mack-2017-edition","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
