This book brings together for the first time monochrome self—portraits taken by Ninagawa intermittently since early in her career, with her photographic series noir (2010), the artist''s ground—breaking look at the dark side of contemporary society, and PLANT A TREE (2011), images of cherry blossoms scattered on the surface of rivers. This book was made in conjunction with her recent exhibition at the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in May, 2015.
