"Ilmatar," a collection of works by Momo Okabe, one of Japan's leading female photographers. Though not prolific, her distinctive style has captivated fans. Her focus on sexual minorities, including transgender individuals and homosexuals, stems not from sympathy or support, but simply from the beauty of their imagery. While the style differs, her philosophy is reminiscent of Diane Arbus and others of the past. Okabe has previously published collections like "Dildo" and "Bible" overseas, but this one was published in 2020 by Mandarake in Japan. It's a collection of her personal experiences from the 2010s, including her journey from being asexual to marriage, IVF, and childbirth, as well as reflections on homosexuality and life and death. It's a fable-like collection of everyday events, woven together like a modern lyric poem. Limited edition of 500 copies. (Some damage to the inside pages.)
