At first glance, the photographer Araki tends to horrify the western viewer. It is his erotic pictures in particular, however - seen in confrontation with cityscapes that testify to the confining closeness of the metropolis - that express in violent terms the involvement of the Japanese society. This series (Sexual Desire) will be exhibited as alarge installation by the Frankfurter Kunstverein and MMK Museum für moderne Kunst in Frankfurt. The special qualities of the installation are also created in book.
