Remarques & avis / ReviewMIDORIKAWA Yoichi's travel in Europe (Egypt, Greece, Switzerland, France, Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden) through fine landscape, street shots, portraits and details, mostly in rich gravure, and including double fold-out pages. This book marks a capital turning point in Midorikawa's photography, which switches from portraits and nude to the landscapes he is now best-known for. Avant-garde, finely crafted travel photobook, with great finishing touch & binding design.

Ce premier livre marque un tournant capital dans la photographie de Midorikawa, qui passera des portraits aux paysages pour lesquels il est le plus connu. Livre-photo de voyage d'avant-garde, à l'excellente finition et maquette très soignée, mention pour la reliure.
