LANDSCAPE WITH A CORPSE – Izima Kaoru

Published by Verlag Gessler – 2001 – Germany
21 x 25 cm – 88 pages – Soft cover

Izima Kaoru invites Japanese actresses and models to imagine their own ideal death scene—a scenario where they depict their own demise in a picturesque or dramatic setting. The resulting images resemble fashion magazine spreads, but with an eerie, surreal twist. These scenes often take place in natural landscapes, deserted urban environments, or luxurious interiors, creating an unsettling contrast between beauty and decay.
