Nobuyoshi Araki - The Banquet 荒木 経惟 - 食事, Magazine House, 1993, Tokyo
Softcover with dust jacket and Obi.
This book documents the food that Araki and his wife ate together in the months before her death, and it is divided into color and black-and-white sections.
"The effect of each section is therefore quite different-the color is lucid, clinical, slightly repellent, the monochrome softer, more diffuse, the food less easily identified. The obvious metaphor is to suggest that the color was leaving Araki's world, but his intentions are not quite so simple. The retreat from color is a retreat from realism to romanticism, where what were clearly images of food now become images of matter, like micro-photography, echoing the viral landscapes of the cancer that was destroying his wife." (Parr/Badger, "The Photobook: A History Vol. I")
