"KaoRi Love" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. It is part of a series of works in which Araki photographed the model KaoRi over an extended period in the 2000s. Published in limited quantities in 2007, this rare book is unique in that Araki's own painting and touch-ups on portraits and nude images elevate the photographs from a "finished record." The lines tracing her outlines and the colors superimposed on her body do not embellish the subject, but rather emerge as raw traces of the photographer's desires and impulses. KaoRi's body is not idealized, but rather positioned as a site where photography and intervention collide, deeply imprinting the instability of eros and life, which Araki has consistently confronted. This book, which intersects the uniqueness that makes it difficult to repeat the same format and the compulsive urge to touch the photograph, marks a unique moment in Araki's work from the 2000s. Limited to 400 copies.
