Kon Box

by Michiko Kon

From the publisher: "Michiko Kon is a contemporary Japanese artist of startling originality. Her exploration of the photographic still-life, in which perishable materials -- raw fish, fowl, vegetables -- are combined with familiar, often feminine objects -- a schoolgirl's uniform, high-heeled shoes, a pocketbook -- trigger our senses of touch, taste and smell through vision and imagination. Kon Box, published in association with p.g.i., Tokyo, presents forty of Kon's most powerful works.
