Tokyo: Kyuryudo Art Publishing, 2003. Trade paperback with stiff wraps and dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover. First edition. Near Fine with light wear along the bottom edge in a Very Good plus dj with wear along some edges. There is a three-inch tear at the bottom front corner of the dj that has been crimped and creased. 136 pages; full-page b&w photographic reproductions throughout; 7.5 x 9.5 inches. Text in Japanese and English. Terada builds diminutive domestic sets she calls 'dollhouses', then photographs them. Her large monochrome images show a world filled with scenes and objects familiar to anyone living in Western culture, yet eerily devoid of human presence. Ultimately though, the real subject of her photographs is light. Terada was born in Japan and lives and works in NYC. This was her first book. FREE SHIPPING within the US by Media Mail.
