LANDMARK by Akiko Isobe Photo Book, Saizo, 2018 Description LANDMARK by Akiko Isobe is a captivating photo book that showcases a collection of photographs originally taken for the cover gravure of the monthly magazine Saizo between 2016 and 2017. This book is a high-quality reimagining of those works, printed on premium paper, elevating the original magazine covers to the level of art. The unique studio work features vibrant backgrounds and quirky objects, creating a distinctive and surreal world that transcends typical talent promotional photos. The book explores a new representation of the body, capturing not only traditional gravure poses but also focusing on the texture of the skin and fragments of the body as if they were objects. This approach challenges existing commercial values and gender norms, presenting a fresh perspective on the human form. The photo book includes numerous fetishistic images that depict the models in an artistic and unconventional manner. Featured in the book are top gravure idols and female talents of the time, such as Marina Nagasawa, Mariya Nagao, Natsumi Hirajima, Miwako Kakei, and Mari Yamachi. Under Akiko Isobe's unique color and art direction, these models are captured in expressions and postures that differ from their usual appearances, offering a new and intriguing view of their personas.
