Masahisa Fukase - Homo Ludens

'Homo Ludens', originally published in 1971, is the first photobook produced by Masahisa Fukase (1934-2012). The anthology reflects on the mutual interplay of all living things, capturing the contradictory yet interconnected phenomena of life and death, meeting and parting. It gathers images taken over more than a decade, reflecting the essence of Fukase's early vision. For this reprint edition, all photographs and texts from the original version have been included, with a focus on reconfiguring the design to emphasise the relationship between the images and the surrounding negative space.
