"Heat of Sand (Signed)" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Satoshi Tsuchiyama. Based in New York, Tsuchiyama is a visual artist who primarily works in lens media, including photography, video, and installations, and has developed projects that explore themes of physical expression and urban spatial perception. This book is a collection of photographs created during his visits to Israel and Palestine between 2017 and 2019. Drawing on the contemporary dance scene, Tsuchiyama captures the atmosphere and sensations of the region by layering elements such as desert landscapes, urban streets, and bodily movements. The works feature dancers, cityscapes, architecture, and sand-covered earth, depicting the everyday life of a land with complex political and religious backgrounds from a poetic perspective that differs from photojournalism. The title was inspired by the presence of sand and heat he felt in Israel, and is an attempt to capture the sense of air and light permeating the entire environment in photographs. This is Tsuchiyama's first photobook and is also known for the work that won the 2020 Landskrona Foto & Breadfield Dummy Award. Limited to 350 copies. Signed by the photographer .
