Ikko Narahara entered the Japanese photographic spotlight in the late 1950s, he then visited Spain several times during his journey across the European continent b between 1962-1965. The photographs he shot were collected in a series called “España Gran Tarde” and showcase Narahara’s brilliant eye for composition, drama and storytelling through photography. This catalogue presents 135 images from “España Gran Tarde”, as well as 15 further photographs from Narahara’s series “Where Time has Stopped”, and goes to great lengths to provide context and explanation for the series’ creation, the photographs’ backgrounds, Narahara’s approach and the historical background, featuring related materials and documents as well as many essays (in Japanese and English translation). The catalogue also focuses on Narahara’s collaboration with graphic designer Mitsuo Katsui.
