Toshio Shibata’s large-format contemporary landscapes are
distinguished by their haunting beauty, graceful composition,
and meticulous detail. Using long exposures, and eliminating
any references to people, horizons, or identifying geographic
reference points, Shibata captures structures such as dams,
bridges, reservoirs, and roads as they interact with their natural
settings—mountainsides, rivers, forests, and fields. The results
are highlighted by painterly composition; filled with patterns,
lines, and fluid action; and unmistakably Japanese in their
aesthetic.
Curated and with commentary by Phillip Prodger, one of the
most erudite and critical voices in contemporary photography,
this book will appeal both to fans of Toshio Shibata’s work
as well as an audience that has yet to discover his remarkable
oeuvre.
PHILLIP PRODGER has served as head of photographs at the National Portrait
Gallery in London, and was the founding curator of photography at the Peabody
Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. He is currently executive director of the
firm Curatorial Exhibitions in Los Angeles. His previous books include William
Eggleston Portraits, Martin Parr: Only Human, and An Alternative History of
Photography, published by Prestel.
