The title "Erotos" is a term that Nobuyoshi Araki coined to express an image in which "Eros" and "Thanatos" harmoniously blend together. For these ambitiously provocative photographs, Araki used a macro lens and ring strobe flash to shoot his subjects at the closest possible range. The resulting extreme close-ups show only fragments of the photographer's subject, dismantling the image's original meaning, and exposing their true nature as overwhelming manifestations of "Erotos." Re-edited and reinterpreted from a contemporary point of view, the controversial series that originally became known as Araki's seminal work in 1993 takes a new form. This new "Erotos" marks the first occasion for his photography to be printed in platinum palladium print.
