Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Japanese artist Julie Watai's debut photo collection, Samurai Girl is a psychedelic and playful compilation of manga inspired photography. Through a stunning fusion of subcultural images, manga and video game graphics. the Tokyo-based fashion photographer and ex pop idol profoundly immortalises Japanese culture in all its richness, folly, and abstractions."Julie Watai is a photographer and contemporary artist whose acid-bright, digitized works draw heavily on the worlds of Japanese manga, anime, and otaku culture. Distorted-yet-realistic, Watai combines images from pop cultural fantasies - from gun-slinging anime girls, to cyborgs, to "kawaii" dolls - with 3D (real-world) imagery, creating a glitch-type portraiture that excites and overloads the imagination."-Beautiful DecayWatai's photographs and designs have already reached cult status in Tokyo and the renowned photographer has been the focus of numerous publications and documentaries from around the world including a feature by Vice's The Creator's Project. This collection showcases over one-hundred such photographs and graphics that have launched this extraordinary artist to international acclaim.
