"Memoires 1978 - 1988" is a collection of works by Seiichi Furuya, one of Japan's leading photographers. While "personal photography" is a style of photography typified by Nobuyoshi Araki and Masahisa Fukase, Furuya is also a representative artist who portrays his own feelings through a lens. He has published many "photo books" in the form of various "photobooks" of his memories of his wife Christine, who he lost to suicide. In 2020, he released "Face to Face," a double-page spread of portraits of himself and his wife, marking the end of the "Memoires" series that has spanned decades. This is the first of these "Memoires." It contains images taken over the 10 years from their meeting in 1978, through her suicide in 1985, and before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1988. The latter half of the book includes contact photos taken on October 6-7, 1985, the day his wife committed suicide, and the beginning of the silent conversation between Furuya and Christine is heartbreaking.
