This new publication, created together with the artist in the year before his death in February 2020, features many unpublished photographs from Kurata’s original negatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Over a 40-year career, Kurata continued his dialogue with the camera. His works are highly regarded for his continual explorations into both the conception of his subjects and the techniques of image-making. Kurata was always an enthusiastic man in sharing his ideas about the discovery of photography—his lifetime pursuit. Can a certain moment become an eternity? Will the story of all existence be affirmed and accepted under the same sky?” (from editor Amanda Ling-Ning Lo’s afterword)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEIJI KURATA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50758029377817,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/5024\/2841\/files\/09052025.jpg?v=1746783320","url":"https:\/\/landslidebooksandobjects.com\/products\/seiji-kurata-eros-lost","provider":"Landslide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
