Family Yurie Nagashima

This is a signature photobook by Yurie Nagashima, a photographer who has garnered high acclaim both domestically (such as her exhibition at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum) and internationally. Nagashima has continually questioned the conventional role of "family" and "women" in society, often utilizing expressions like "nude" in her work that focuses on her relationship with her family and those close to her.

This volume, titled Family, is composed of works capturing the photographer's own family.

Nagashima has stated that the conflict between the sense of security gained from having people nearby and the opposing feeling of solitude was the impetus for her photography. The book intertwines candid portraits of her family with nostalgic everyday scenes, possessing both a "private atmosphere" and a "universal landscape."

First published in 1998, this collection, often likened to someone's family album, evokes warmth and nostalgia, reflecting the origins of Yurie Nagashima's artistic endeavor by stimulating the viewer's own memories of family.
