"Captured in three Tokyo parks in the early seventies, Kohei Yoshiyuki's The Park series features some intriguing photographic works of art. Shot at night using flash and infrared film, the photographs show hetero- and homosexuals gathering for furtive sexual encounters in the Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama parks. These amorous scenes, however, are unpleasantly crowded; even before Yoshiyuki approached them with his camera, the couples had become objects of desire for voyeurs. The sixty-two photographs are presented here in duotone quality with an interview with the artist."--BOOK JACKET.

The book showcases a radical cultural scene from the late 1980s to early 1990s, captured through Lyle Ashton Harris's 35 mm Ektachrome images. Accompanied by journal entries and insights from various artistic and cultural figures, it documents ephemeral moments and iconic personalities during a transformative era marked by significant changes in the art world, the rise of multiculturalism, AIDS activism, and early globalization. This collection serves as a poignant reflection on a vibrant and tumultuous period in contemporary culture.

Every three years, New York's International Center of Photography (ICP) presents a global survey of the most exciting and challenging new work in photography and video-the only recurrent U.S. exhibition to specialize in this field. Opening in September 2009, the Third ICP Triennial takes place within a yearlong cycle of ICP exhibitions that critically examine fashion and its relation to contemporary art and other cultural phenomena. Through the lens of fashion, the Triennial will look at the proliferation of photo- and video-based work, exploring the current uses of style, image and self-presentation. Among the artists taking part in the Triennial are Yto Barrada, Valerie Belin, Jacqueline Hassink, Hu Yang, Kimsooja, Jeremy Kost, Tanya Marcuse, Anne Morgenstern, Grace Ndiritu, David Rosetzky, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, Hank Willis Thomas, Mikalene Thomas and Pinar Yolacan. Encompassing a huge range of extremely diverse practices and ideas, the works in the exhibition all reflect a shared conviction that style and fashion stand at the center of today's liveliest and most significant cultural manifestations.

This book critically examines a century of groundbreaking fashion magazine photography, showcasing 100 significant issues selected by critic Vince Aletti. It reveals rarely seen images and offers a fresh perspective on photography's history, blending sophistication with stunning visuals.
