Kuge Yasuhide’s second publication saw the photographer visit a number of ateliers of prominent Japanese artists and document the place where ‘values’ are created. The studio spaces of Yayoi Kusama, Katsura Funakoshi and Takashi Murakami, for example, are vividly and lively represented in this photography book. Tools used in the studio, the atelier spaces themselves, personal details, favourite objects and studio assistants who support the artist in their daily practice all appear in these images, exposing and emphasising the richness of these ‘scenes’ of creation. Illustrated throughout with full colour images, the publication contains very little text.
