Borrowed place, borrowed time Keizo Kitajima

From his foundational studies at the Workshop Photography School to co-founding the legendary gallery "Image Shop CAMP," through the sites of the Cold War collapse and into his contemporary long-term observations—this volume serves as the comprehensive exhibition catalog for Keizo Kitajima's major retrospective at the Nagano Prefectural Art Museum.

This book is far more than a mere record of the exhibition. Using the phrase "Borrowed place, borrowed time" as a conceptual key, it captures the process of Kitajima himself revisiting and reconstructing his vast body of work. From his early, sharp-edged snapshots to the contemporary series like PORTRAITS and UNTITLED RECORDS, this 360-page volume encapsulates the evolution of a photographer who has consistently confronted the spirit of his times, while questioning the nature of photography itself. It is an essential work for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Keizo Kitajima’s career.
