FUSHIKADEN (New Edition)
A new edition produced on the occasion of the exhibition Issei Suda's FUSHIKADEN at Centre d'Art GwinZegal (France) on July 5,2024.
Fushikaden was a series that was featured irregularly in eight installments between December 1975 and December 1977 in the monthly photography magazine Camera Mainichi. Later the pictures appeared again alongside previously published and unpublished works in the book Fushikaden (Asahi Sonorama, 1978), which as a matter of course is out of print today.
Now finally, after all those years, these photographs are being published once again, this time in the form of a complete edition including 38 items of that weren't in the original book.Marking a point in my career when I was finaly at the start line at the ready to go,the series composed of photos shot in daily life situations and on the road in the Kanto and Thoku areas is for me a deeply emotional affair,and at once a slightly embarrassing document of my youth that reveals just now little has changed.

In 1997, his book Human Memory received several awards including the Domon Ken Prize. In 2013, his large-scale retrospective exhibition “Nagi no hira – fragments of calm” was shown at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. His works capturing moments between reality and non-reality have lately earned a high reputation also outside Japan.
