Kill the Pig Masahisa Fukase Photo Collection

About the productJapanese

If there was a prologue to his photographic expression, which could be called the “Fukase Theater” in the sense that he risked his own life for it, it would be the photo exhibition “Kill the Pig” held in 1961.
We can now appreciate that "Kill the Pig" was essentially Fukase's debut work, as well as an important piece that confirms the perspective that would underpin his subsequent photographic expression; however, because it dealt head-on with the subject of slaughter, it was considered taboo for a long time, and Fukase himself never spoke much about it. Most of the photographs were never shown to the public, except for one exhibition in 1961, so it could also be considered a phantom work.
This book is the first to compile "Kill the Pig" as a standalone book, and aims to finally bring to light the origins of Fukase, which have remained shrouded in mystery until now.
