Private Scenes — Masahisa Fukase. Published by Prestel.
This is a collection of the entire Private Scenes photographic series that was begun in the late 1980's. Such an interesting and playful approach to self portraiture. He is in every single photo, but it is not always apparent at first glance. Most of the book is comprised of prints that have been painted on with expressive colors, which injects the hand into the work in a way I find very compelling.
