Nobuyoshi Araki: Hi-Nikki (Non-Diary Diary) - Paperback

On the occasion of its 30th anniversary in 2014, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain asked Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki to take a photograph every day, which would then be published weekly on its website as a slide show. Caught up in the task, Araki took more than one picture a day from March to May 2014, producing 1,250 color photographs featuring views of Tokyo, portraits of young women, sensual still-lifes, or shots taken at restaurants or in a small bar in the district of Kabuki-cho, one of his favorite spots. The Fondation Cartier collated all the images into one book, Hi-Nikki (Non-Diary Diary), offering a sumptuous showcase of this rich digital project and inviting the reader to dive into the daily life of a prolific artist.
