About This Item
Tucson: Nazraeli Press, 2004. First edition. Hardcover. New in publisher's shrink wrap. Large Folio. Unpaginated. Original red quarter cloth over heavy photo-illustrated boards with silver lettering on spine, housed in white stiff glossy paper slipcase with metallic red lettering on cover. Silver edges. Red endpapers. Title page black with white lettering. "What Yanagi pays attention to are the cultural codes embedded within the great architecture and passageways (arcades) that have frozen the atmosphere of modernism amidst the acceleration of the period. The Elevator Girls, like apparitions, appear as its peculiar signs. This fabricated space of modernism, stripped of a time axis, is simultaneously akin to a future city where all excitement has faded. Yanai's Elevator Girls reside in both a past and future time-space." (Aomi Okabe).
