Haha Love (New Edition) Hannya Edition by Tonomura Tomoka

About the productJapanese

Tonomura Tomoka's shocking debut work "Mother's Love" was published by Akaaka Art Publishing in 2008 and caused a huge sensation. After going out of print, this photo book has now been republished by Zen Photo Gallery for the first time in 13 years in a new edition. It comprises 37 photographs from the black-and-white title series "Mother's Love" and 19 color works that have been re-shot with telecine for the first time in the collection "Light is in the Darkness of the Heart," a family documentary shot on 8mm film.

"You and I are both liars.
It's up to others how they view the photos they have taken.
Photographs say that even hatred and betrayal are all love.
Just being alive is a comedy.
I just shoot what I have to shoot."

I see the absurdity in my mother's eyes.
If losing oneself is love,
A world that cannot be resisted is nothing but absurd

nevertheless
If there is life

Resistance is the only thing
The only driving force behind this is love.

- Tonomura Tomoka
