"This volume gathers, for the first time, the whole of the series Private Scenes, in which we discover a new dimension of Masahisa Fukase's work: the artist grappling with his own medium. This singular body of work is made of pictures into which the artist inserts himself. As the photographer explains: 'The self that sees is also the self that is seen. Every time I point the viewfinder, I am also being looked at.'" The result is a set of scenes in which the author appears at the edge of his own frames, in the street and at home.
