「挑釁｜PROVOKE AND PHOTOBOOKS OF THE 1960S AND ‘70S」
日本古書店・二手舍將以「Provoke 挑釁」為切入點，以攝影書為主體探討六〇、七〇年代日本攝影的動向及其時代背景。「Provoke 挑釁」一詞來自1968年美術評論家多木浩二和攝影家中平卓馬所策劃，並邀請詩人岡田隆彥和攝影家高梨豐加入，所創刊的攝影同人誌之刊名。攝影家森山大道於第二期加入。該雜誌以「為了思想的挑釁式資料」為副標題，內容由影像、散文和詩歌構成。雜誌一共發行了三期，最終於1970年3月結集出版了《先把正確的世界丟棄吧》之後，宣告解散。粗顆粒、因盲拍而導致的不穩定構圖、失焦且不鮮明，這樣的影像被揶揄為「粗劣・搖晃・失焦」，評論毀譽參半，時而給那個時代帶來了超越攝影的深刻衝擊。
此次書展，二手舍將帶來《Provoke 挑釁》同人成員的攝影集，並加以同時代的海內外經典選書，試圖以「書」來串連、鋪陳該時代的攝影藝術發展脈絡及氛圍。2018年正好為《Provoke 挑釁》創刊50週年，二手舍很榮幸地宣布將於今年11月發行《Provoke 挑釁 復刻版》，盼透過此次書展，呈現六〇、七〇年代促成日本攝影多樣貌的「挑釁式資料」。
NITESHA - a secondhand bookstore based in Tokyo is pleased to present a book exhibition taking "Provoke" as a keyword, through the presentation of photobooks to discuss the movements and the time background of Japanese photography in the 60s and 70s. The term "Provoke" came from the title of a photography dojin-shi, or self-published magazine published in 1968. It was originally conceived by art critic Koji Taki and photographer Takuma Nakahira, with poet Takahiko Okada and photographer Yutaka Takanashi as dojin members. The subtitle for the magazine was “Provocative Materials for Thought”, and each issue was composed of photographs, essays and poems. After releasing the second and third issue with Daido Moriyama as a subsequent member, the group broke up with their last publication First, Abandon the World of Pseudo-Certainty - an overview edition of the three issues. Provoke’s grainy, blurry, and out-of-focus photographs were initially ridiculed as are-bure-boke and stirred a great deal of controversy, yet it had created a strong impact inside and outside of the photography world during that time.
In this book exhibition, NITESHA will introduce photobooks by "Provoke" members, and a selection of notable books that are published in and out of Japan from the same period. We aim to illustrate the artistic context and atmosphere of the time background through the presentation of books. In addition to that, 2018 marks the 50th year since Provoke had first been published, NITESHA is pleased to announce that we will publish "Provoke Complete Reprint of 3 Volumes" this November. Through this book exhibition, we hope to present "provocative materials" which contribute to the varied faces of Japanese photography in the 60s and 70s.
