"Party" is a photo collection by leading Japanese photographer Hiromi Tsuchida. While working as a salaryman, he attended Tokyo College of Photography, where he would later serve as principal. He received advice from Shigemori Koen, one of the founders, that "you should photograph Japanese festivals." Since the 1970s, Hiromi Tsuchida, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, has produced a prolific body of work centered on "people/crowds." While blurred, out-of-focus, and contrast photography were all the rage in the 1970s, Tsuchida, a rare photographer with an engineering degree, has always employed a clear concept and theme, striving to capture meaningful "records." While the subject of "people/crowds" may be a "personal" subject, in his signature work "Counting the Sands," the human presence is abstracted, like the disappearing and reappearing waves. Meanwhile, the people in "Party" included in this book exude even more dazzling individuality, far from being abstracted by the crowd. What is it about people who are lost in the crowd in everyday life, yet unleash their individuality in "special occasions"? This is a wonderful collection of works that makes you think about the various aspects of human beings, such as homogeneous desires and assertive desires. (Published in Parr & Badger / Vol. III)
