There are three themes in the series: VOLUME 0 (KYOTO) features photobooks of the 1970s; VOLUME 1 (506070) features photobooks from the 1950s, '60s and '70s; VOLUME 2 (900010) features photobooks from the 1990s, '00s and '10s. Japanese photobooks of the 1960s and '70s continue to have a lasting influence on contemporary Japanese photography. To communicate the vibrancy of this living history, GOLIGA invited book designer Satoshi Machiguchi to reconceptualize the process of design as a live event. Open to the public, Machiguchi (also known as MATCH) photographed spreads from photobooks included in the exhibition. These appropriations were then incorporated into a book layout that was printed and bound during the performance. This contemporary re-rendering of the work is a direct conceptual application of the experiments of the photography forefathers.
