At the 2016 Tokyo Art Book Fair I finally picked up a copy of Seiji Kumagai’s miniature photobook SEIJI (Banquet, 2002).
The book is designed as a tiny version of a big camera, the Plaubel Makina, a 6x7 medium format rangefinder. Cleverly, the images in this book are all smaller than the actual film frames of Fuji Acros film they were captured on. The book’s content is a collection of portraits and snapshots- it’s a fine addition to any bookshelf. Certainly there’s got to be space for it on yours.
