Seasons Series #1  |  Spring

Book

Editor, designer and publisher of Japanese artist and photographer Osamu Yokonami’s limited edition photo-book Mizugi.

Seasons Series draws inspiration from Kim Ki-Duk’s seminal film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring in which different actors, for each season, play the same character who is abandoned on a lake next to a floating monastery. The film specifically focuses on the shifting nature of the seasons and its effects on the protagonist’s fosterage. The books take their lead from the film in that simple and profound ideas, human passions and spirituality can be perceived differently depending on the season.

Seasons Series is a quarterly book series, in which a group of artists are brought together under one vision with a focus on each artist’s singular way of seeing. Each of the books in the series will focus on differing subjects and all monographs will showcase the artist’s unique approach to photography. All the books in the series will maintain the same size, dimensions and page count. The first 25 of each will come as a special edition containing a print.

21,5 cm x 27,5 cm (8.5” x 10.8”). 32 pages. 18 color plates. Offset printed paperbound hardcover. Linen thread bound. White headband. Typography on front cover, spine and back cover in white foil. Special edition of 25 copies, numbered, in paperboard slipcase, screen printed in white, with signed original print.
