i-Dさんのインスタグラム写真 - (i-DInstagram)「#MasahisaFukase is at once a legend and an enigma.⁠ ⁠ The photographer's confounding archive remained largely inaccessible after a tragic tumble down the stairs of his favourite bar in 1992, which left him in a coma for two decades. ⁠ ⁠ Since Masahisa’s death in 2012, his archive has been slowly disclosed, revealing a wealth of unseen material dealing with the themes of family, love, friendship, loneliness, depression, mortality and death — often simultaneously.⁠ ⁠ Masahisa’s compulsion to photograph the people he was close to was overwhelming and eventually drove them away. But his feline friends turned out to be his most faithful.⁠ ⁠ As early as 1978, he wrote: “In the 40 years I’ve been on this earth, cats have been following me around like a shadow. ‘Like a shadow’… It sounds rather photographic, doesn’t it?”⁠ ⁠ With today marking #InternationalCatDay, read more about Fukase's life and work at the link in bio. 🐈‍⬛⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ Text @alex_merola⁠ #Photography #Cats」8月9日 7時59分
