佐内正史さんの写真集、『パイロン』。対照/マッチアンドカンパニーの共同出版。
Masafumi Sanai, “Pylon”. Co-published from Taisho / MATCH and Company.
「パイロン」という単語に特に意味はないものと思っていましたが、英語の「Pylon（目標塔、鉄塔などの意味）」のことでした。
I thought this title in Japanese had no meaning but it was actually “plyon” in English.
レーベル「対照」から自身の作品としては10冊目。2008年に1冊目『浮浪』がリリースされたので4年弱で10冊。
After publishing tons of photobooks from various publishers since his debut in late 1990s, he felt enough with it. In 2008, he launched his own publishing label “Taisyo” that he can manage and control everything, choosing right paper/print and of course selection of images.
This is the 10th book of his own from Taisyo.
「対照」からは、大きな版型の写真集が多かったんですが、今回はソフトカバーで、サイズも縦290mm 横257mmとおさえめ。
Books from the label tend to be big and heavy but this one has soft cover and the size is 290mm x 257mm.
たっぷりとった余白が、イメージをしっかり閉じ込めてます。
There is much space around each photograph that makes images closed.
700部限定。
Limited 700 copies.
Label Taisho does not have international shipping(at least no explanation in English) so far but you can purchase some of his books in bookshop M (online shop for MATCH and Company which co-publish some works with Taisyo). Also you can find more of his books on Amazon. “Ikiteiru”(his debut photobook and masterpiece), “Tekka”(same format with Ikiteiru), “Ore no Kuruma”(means “my car”. He loves his car).
