1936ref. 223771東京. Tokyo.: 横山豊. Yokoyama Yutaka. Showa 11 1936. Colour folding colour sugoroku 54 x 80cm. Insect damage lower right square and on margins now repaired with washi the reverse otherwise good. A colourful sugoroku game dating from 1936 this sheet also served as an advertising campaign for the shops and businesses of the Horinouchi district of Kawasaki City. The game sheet was distributed by a newspaper delivery shop in the community. The area had been known as a red-light district since the Edo period and this association continued until recently when it was famous for its “soaplands” or private prostitution services. The types of businesses appearing on the sheet vary though many are clearly connected with the hospitality and entertainment industries including the rental party-room association a term which in this context appears to refer to brothels. The goal of the game is to reach a café named Kanojo 彼女 “A Special Lady”. The game was distributed through the Tokyo Nichi Nichi and Yomiuri newspapers and takes players on a journey in which each panel represents a Horinouchi business. As a result it offers an extraordinarily vivid record of the small shops and establishments which lined the streets of this lively district in the 1930s. We are introduced to small restaurants and cafés a local bookshop and a shop selling traditional Japanese sweets. There is a saké shop a draper’s store a pharmacy and a hairdressers as well as a petrol station and shops selling radios and gramophones. Each business is represented by a charming illustration and a short phrase advertising its services. A decorative piece of ephemera this is also a valuable record of the social history of urban entertainment and commerce in pre-war Japan. . 横山豊. [Yokoyama, Yutaka]. unknown

It is the character I play in the film “Carve her name with Pride” with Virginia McKenna and Paul Schofield. / I look a bit scruffy but I think people get a bit fed up with “tidy” pictures and anyway it is the character and after all that is what matters.’ He ‘just got through the show’ on the previous Saturday before going ‘home to bed with “flu”. It was a very near thing and I have never felt more like chucking my hand in but only because I could hardly think or see anybody. What we do for ART eh I’d like to meet this fellow Art one of these days.’ In a postscript he states that his ‘Indian doctor performed a miracle’.

2017New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 21 cm). In English and Turkish. Special designed folded 16 p., 12 b/w photos. Yusuf Sevinçli. Oculus. [Exhibition catalogue]. Galerist Tepebasi, 14.12.2017-27.01.2018. Designed by Valentina Abenavoli. This catalogue was published on the occasion of Yusuf Sevinçli's exhibition 'Oculus' at Galerist Tepebasi between 14.12.201 7-27.01.2018. The exhibition comprises analogue, black & white photographs taken mostly in France and Turkey. Taking its title from an old Roman architectural term for a small circular or oval window or the round openings found at the center of domes. Often an oculus allows a concentrated beam of light into an otherwise dark interior and so is threshold between a world of light and one of shadow. In Sevinçli's images we are in a shadow-world in which light, meaning and beauty pass fleetingly, out of reach and into memory. There is a beautiful, poetic intelligence in Sevinçli's photographs. They are, we are told images of actual things and places. The artist's sensibility, however, articulated through the elegant contingencies of the analogue photographic process; the framing of the shot, the manipulation of the negative, the quality of the printing, renders reality dreamlike. The images are a dream-state, rich with ambiguity and metaphor; A flower, silhouetted, becomes epic and architectural. A white circle painted on a dark ground, the casual record of an act of art making takes on occult significance. A woman pulls skin tight like cloth, another's eyes sparkle with light. Stream rises, spectral like from the street. A man in movement, arms outstretched, his head hidden from us, is perhaps dancing or falling. Stairs ascend into luminosity and fiction. Political in their sensibility of oppressive ambiguity, poetic in their search for moments of transcendence, Sevinçli's photographs are exquisite signs, only partially intelligible, full of melancholy and hope. 1000 copies were printed.
