Synopsis

Reflex is a kaleidoscope of the youth culture of modern Japan, sex-obsessed, star-struck, and violent, struggling to overcome hidebound traditions that nevertheless pervades a world encompassed by bobby sox and Sony. Alarming yet playful in its frankness, it offers Western audiences a coherent view of Japanese subcultures as seen from within by Japan's leading creative artists. Forty contemporary Japanese artists, professional and amateur photographers, Manga illustrators, and renegade artists are included. Reflex is co-edited by Mark Sanders (senior editor for Another Magazine), Kyoichi Tsuzuki (artist and editor of the award-winning Roadside Japan), and Fumiya Sawa (consultant and co-curator on the Barbican Gallery's exhibition JAM: Tokyo - London).
