"Keiichiro Goto Photobook: Photographs 1 & 2," published in 1973 by Japanese photographer Keiichiro Goto, requires an understanding of Goto's personal journey as well as the avant-garde photography culture of Nagoya, which developed in a different context than Tokyo. While managing the Aoyagi Sohonten confectionery company, Goto immersed himself in Nagoya's avant-garde photography scene from the late 1930s, developing an interest in experimental photography influenced by Surrealism. During the war, he was involved in news reporting and documentary photography, and after the war, through the formation of VIVI, he explored subjective photography and abstract expression. Furthermore, by operating a gallery utilizing his company's store, he supported the very act of presenting photography and art. In Nagoya and Osaka, there is a fertile ground for photographers to cultivate their own expression and language within a different sense of distance from central magazine media, and Goto's activities are deeply rooted in this context. The abstract images contained in this book are the culmination of Goto's long journey and reflections on photography itself. It can be seen as a quiet crystallization of the question Goto has consistently grappled with: "What can photography accomplish?" Shipping box included.
