BABY CAKES Takashi Honma's Works

About the productJapanese

The series of artist books using photographs that Ed Ruscha produced in the 1960s and 1970s had a major influence on subsequent generations of artists and photographers, inspiring a wide range of homages to his works by artists from all over the world, including reinterpretations, imitations, and parodies.
By adopting the original formats and titles in approximately 100 books, Ruscha indirectly expanded the range of acceptable themes and methods of artistic expression through his endorsement of these publications.

The Ed Ruscha homage series, which was launched in 2014 as a collaborative project by Takashi Homma, Yoshihisa Tanaka, and POST, has published five books to date: "NINE SWIMMING POOLS," "VARIOUS COVERED AUTOMOBILES AND SNOW," "THIRTIFOUR PARKING LOTS," "SCANDINAVIAN MUSHROOMS," and "VARIOUS SHAPED HOSES AND SNAKE."

This fifth edition simultaneously pays homage to three books: "TWENTYSIX GASOLINE STATIONS," one of Rucha's most famous works; "ROYAL ROAD TEST," in which a typewriter was thrown from a car and the damage it caused recorded; and "BABYCAKES," which is a matter-of-fact record of Western-style sweets and their weights. These works follow the themes set by Rucha and attempt to completely reinterpret the original.
