{"product_id":"my-dog-royce-1-2005","title":"Takashi Homma: My Dog, Royce 1, 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over a decade, Takashi Homma has turned his lens toward Tokyo’s suburban environs and urban center. His vision of Tokyo has navigated a finely nuanced line between sterility and sentimentality, presenting a sleek, contemporary vision of a postmodern megalopolis populated by a new generation of video-game aficionados and enervated fashionistas, but also the site of cutting-edge architectural experiments and quiet rooftop gardens. Homma deftly picks up the baton from earlier Japanese photographers such as Daido Moriyama, and crafts a contemporary portrait of the modern-day metropolis that is both cinematic and complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Ivan Vartanian writes of the artist’s most current work, “Homma’s once dispassionate eye now shows a modicum of connectivity, of personal involvement. The photographer even inserts himself into his photographs and begins to address themes that are somewhat private: his studio, his desk, his dog, and even, as in his retitling of an earlier 2001 photograph \u003cem\u003eMyself\u003c\/em\u003e. The work \u003cem\u003eMy dog, Royce 1, 2005\u003c\/em\u003e chosen as the cover image for the artist’s monograph, is just such an example of this connectivity.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited edition print coincided with the release of \u003cem\u003eTakashi Homma: Tokyo\u003c\/em\u003e (Aperture, 2008), the first Homma volume to be published for an international audience. The book compiles selections from each of his previously published titles about the city, including \u003cem\u003eTokyo Suburbia\u003c\/em\u003e, his seminal work, now considered a contemporary classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42514060116102,"sku":"L0140","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/5399\/1302\/files\/Aperture-L0140-1_091ce754-ef4d-4e03-bb1e-19deeeb14c35.jpg?v=1763775468","url":"https:\/\/store.aperture.org\/products\/my-dog-royce-1-2005","provider":"Aperture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
