位在日本京都的赤赤舍（AKAAKA），由總編輯姬野希美於 2006 年創立，不僅是日本攝影出版的重要推手，更是將攝影書籍提升為藝術與文化對話平台的先驅。

專注於攝影藝術出版的赤赤舍，憑藉敏銳的眼光與獨到的編輯視角，發掘並支持了眾多攝影新秀，其出版作品更屢次榮獲日本指標性攝影獎――木村伊兵衛賞的肯定。

此外，赤赤舍更透過作品放映會、攝影展覽，以及國際藝術書展的參與，持續探索與拓展日本當代攝影的想像邊界，並逐漸在國際社群中佔有一席之地。

本場座談邀請赤赤舍的靈魂推手――總編輯姬野希美，分享攝影如何成為個人與社會、文化之間的橋樑，並探討出版在其中所扮演的角色。

現場也邀集四位與赤赤舍合作密切的日本當代攝影家――浅田政志、石川竜一、上原沙也加、清水裕貴，透過作品放映與現場對談，分享他們如何以影像回應所處的時代、地方與個人生命經驗。

攝影不只是一種觀看的方式，更是連結社會、文化及思想的創作媒介。從鏡頭前的凝視到書頁之間的節奏，這場對談將帶領觀眾一窺赤赤舍的出版之道，以及四位日本當代攝影家的影像美學。

AKAAKA Art Publishing Inc. (AKAAKA), based in Kyoto, Japan, was founded by its editor-in-chief, Kimi Himeno, in 2006. It is not only a key force in Japanese photography publishing but also a pioneer in enhancing photobooks’ position as a dialogue platform of art and culture.

Focused on photography publishing, AKAAKA has discovered and supported numerous emerging photographers with its keen vision and unique editorial perspective. Many of its publications have been honored with the Kimura Ihei Photography Award, one of Japan’s most prominent photography awards.

In addition, AKAAKA constantly investigates and expands the boundaries of imagination in Japanese contemporary photography through photo slideshows, exhibitions, and international art book fairs, gradually establishing a notable presence in the global communities.

This talk invites Kimi Himeno, the driving force and editor-in-chief behind AKAAKA, to share how photography bridges the gaps between individuals and society, and across cultures, while exploring the role of publishing in this dynamic.

Joining her are four Japanese contemporary photographers—Masashi Asada, Ryuichi Ishikawa, Sayaka Uehara, and Yuki Shimizu—longtime collaborators of AKAAKA. Together, they will discuss how their works respond to their era, surroundings, and life experiences via screenings and live conversations.

Photography is not only a way of seeing but also a creative medium that connects society, culture, and thoughts. From gazes before the lens to rhythms between pages, this talk invites audiences to explore AKAAKA’s publishing philosophy and the visual aesthetics of the four contemporary Japanese photographers.
