Descrizione
The photographer's series 'Landscapes with a Corpse' features the lifeless bodies of models, who nevertheless remain resolutely chic.
Between fashion, cinema, and visual art, the project undertaken by photographer Izima Kaoru seeks to aestheticise the death of young women. The series Landscapes with a Corpse, published in its entirety in 2008, presents photographs of immaculately-dressed models and actresses appearing in their fantasy death scene.
Born in Kyoto in 1954, the fashion photographer began this series in 1993. He invited his models to choose the designer garments that they would like to be wearing at the moment of their death.
Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru asks his subjects one question: How do you want to die?
