Michael Hoppen Contemporary’s on-going exploration of important Japanese photography will reach a controversial high on May 2 when the gallery unveils an exhibition of work by Nobuyoshi Araki.
Araki, whose major themes are sex, death and the more subversive side of the contemporary Tokyo scene, has made a career out of challenging the social mores of his home country and in this exhibition he pushes the boundaries even further, presenting a provocative body of work celebrating the Japanese art of bondage. Or kinbaku as it is known in Japan.
