Gate Hack Eden — Osamu Kanemura. Published by ori.studio.
Gate Hack Eden explodes the form of the photobook in the best possible ways. A small sculpture in its own right, the book dives deeply into Osamu Kanemura's obsession with Tokyo's built environment and with the visual stimuli provided by capitalism on steroids. The book also demonstrates that photography can not only be art when it imitates other art forms' conventions but, instead, embraces what makes it exciting as a medium in the first place.
