Examines the transformation of “the object” and the aesthetics of disaffection in the experimental art and photography of 1960s Japan.



Trade Review

“Effectively applying psychoanalysis and other theoretical approaches, Adriasola Muñoz explores the melancholy and estrangement experienced by a diverse selection of artists and critics active in Japan in the 1960s. This book dovetails nicely with a rich and growing English-language literature on the art of Japan in the late 1950s and 1960s by authors such as Marotti, Tiempo, Tomii, Kunimoto, and Prichard.”

—Jonathan Reynolds,author of Allegories of Time and Space: Japanese Identity in Photography and Architecture


“Full of implications that enrich our perspectives on postwar art history.”
