Un autoportrait métaphorique :
Plus qu’un livre photo, cette série mythique incarne une autobiographie métaphorique et sombre. Après son divorce, Fukase a photographié de façon compulsive des corbeaux dans sa région natale d’Hokkaido, signe de sa grave dépression. Bien que sa vie ait été écourtée par 20 ans de coma, le photographe japonais a eu une carrière prolifique.
« Solitude of Ravens » est aujourd’hui un livre aussi légendaire que rare.
