asocial attitude

The view of the Statue of Liberty from the torch which is now closed - 1916

Masahisa Fukase, Yōko (1974)

Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase (25th February 1934 – 9th June 2012) almost exclusively shot his second wife Yōko Wanibe for thirteen years until their separation in 1976, then until 1982 obsessively captured ravens as symbols of his depression.

Fukase’s death followed twenty years in a coma, after falling down the stairs of his favourite bar. Yōko visited him twice a month during this period, although he may never have been aware of her presence.

Chicago, 1961.
