Title: Guillaume Simoneau - Murder. [With loose inserted booklet with text in English and Japanese - Shino Kuraishi: Crows as messengers of good news].
Description: MACK, 2019. 31.5 x 24.5 cm. [96] pp. Hardcover. Illustrated in b/w and colour throughout. - The genesis of Guillaume Simoneau's new book, Murder, is in spring 1982. At around the same time Masahisa Fukase was producing his post-war masterpiece Karasu (Ravens), Simoneau's family adopted a nest full of baby crows orphaned from a fallen tree. [...] Throughout the book, the symbolism of the crow is constantly at stake. In the childhood images, the crow becomes an unlikely symbol of intimacy; coupled with blurred glimpses of the bird in flight, Simoneau threatens to restore the bird to its cultural function as an omen of turbulent times. - Small bumps top edge frontcover, otherwise a fine copy
