Atsushi Tani "D. P Collage Series"

In the dark, in the fetish, in the avant-garde

――A collection of shivering works by an atypical photographer

``D.P Collage Series'' and ``Flowers and Nudes'' will be released simultaneously!

A body and an object that mysteriously melt together.

Atsushi Tani, an atypical photographer, creates a world of beauty in the far north through a collage of women's bodies.

A4 size deluxe edition!

A new world of a man who has reached the pinnacle of gothic photography.

Atsushi Tani's neo-surrealist declaration is a chaotic collage in which bodies and objects mysteriously merge!

--Taro Mishima (Producer)

The series of collages recorded in this book can be said to be the extreme north of Atsushi Tani's expression of Eros/Thanatos.

The body is divided into limbs, torso, buttocks, genitals, etc., and deformed to such an extent that it is impossible to imagine the original shape.

At first glance, things that look like flowers or furniture are actually made up of a combination of such extremely distorted body parts if you look closely.

The tranquil scene created in this way is truly the ultimate paradise for Thanatos.

Atsushi Tani proves that Thanatos can create an aesthetic vision different from death and grim darkness.

--Jukyo Satsuki (art critic)

● Atsushi Tani

Photographer and visual artist.

He started making photographs around 1989, and his photographic works with a dark and gothic taste were published in magazines such as "BURST", "DUNE", "Yasou", and "Talking Heads Series", and gained popularity.

In 2008, he received an offer from Mylène Farmer, an artist who is very popular in the French-speaking world, to shoot the jacket and booklet for the album "Point de Suture".

Currently, in addition to Japan, he is active mainly in exhibitions in Asia and Europe. He is also involved in the visual production of books and CD jackets, as well as promotional photography for plays, stage performances and musicals.

Tani's works are characterized by surrealist visuals that are reconstructed with his own sensibility and interpretation, using objects such as nudes and other human bodies, flowers, lenses, surgical instruments, curtains, and veils. From aesthetic works inspired by literary works to experimental works with radical collage, his works are wide-ranging and continue to surprise the viewer.
