I don’t buy photobooks that often, and this is especially true of new ones, but I could not help myself when it came to Shomei Tomatsu’s “make,” published by Super Labo ¹. “make” is, in some sense, Tomatsu’s final work: he was closely involved in the editing and sequencing of this book. There’s a broad range of images from Tomatsu’s career, but his most recent work stood out to me. People know Tomatsu as a black-and-white photographer of Shinjuku kids, or maybe as a color photographer of Okinawa, but who knew that, in his later years, he was putting together psychedelic still lifes of motherboards on the beach?
