Yutaka Takanashi, Koji Taki, Takuma Nakahira - Provoke #1 - プロヴォーク 思想のための挑発的資料 季刊第1号, Provoke-sha (self-published), 1968, Tokyo

 

Softcover, Photographs by Yutaka Takanashi, Takuma Nakahira and Koji Taki. Texts by Takahiko Okada and Koji Taki. Published 1st November 1968 in an edition of app. 300 copies.

"The image in itself is not an idea. It cannot attain the totality of a concept, nor can it be a commutative sign like a word. Its irreversible materiality—a reality that has been detached by the camera—exists in a world opposite that of language, and because of this it sometimes provokes the world of language and concepts. In such instances, language transcends its fixed, conceptualized self, and is transformed into a new language, or rather a new idea.
Today, at this very moment, language is losing its material basis—in other words, its reality—and floating in space. We as photographers must capture with our own eyes fragments of reality that can no longer be grasped through existing language, and must actively put forth materials that address language and ideas. This is why we have been so bold as to give Provoke the subtitle Provocative Materials for Thought." (from the preface, by Takanashi Yutaka, Nakahira Takuma, Taki Kōji, Okada Takahiko, from the Steidl book „Provoke“)
