{"title":"Keisuke Nagoshi","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeisuke Nagoshi (born Nara, 1977) is a Japanese photographer whose practice is built around sustained proximity to marginal communities, subcultures, and social edges. Working from the late 1990s onward, he has documented Chicano communities in the United States, squatter settlements, and street cultures with a directness that resists both documentary distance and ethnographic framing. His work proceeds from presence rather than observation — from time spent inside the conditions he photographs rather than outside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCHICANO\u003c\/em\u003e (Tokyo Kirara-sha \/ Kawade Shobo Shinsha, 2008), his most widely circulated publication, records a culture often reduced to stereotype and mythology, and restores to it the density of lived experience. Out of print and unreprinted, it has become a significant object in the photobook field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe materials gathered here are documents of that practice: publications and printed objects that carry Nagoshi's images into a different economy of attention — one defined by retention, rarity, and the altered conditions of renewed encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"keisuke-nagoshi-chicano-tokyo-kirara-kawade-shobo-shinsha-2008","title":"KEISUKE NAGOSHI — CHICANO, Tokyo Kirara-sha \/ Kawade Shobo Shinsha, Japan, 2008","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhotobook, Keisuke Nagoshi, \u003cem\u003eCHICANO\u003c\/em\u003e.
