[spectre] Memoraphilia

[Akiko TOBU]

Hello everybody -

I'd like to let you know that my second photo book titled, 
"Memoraphilia" came out here in Japan.

The title "Memoraphilia" is a neologism, meaning "A love of memory 
and things memorable. A disposition toward remembrance."

My second solo exhibition of the same title is going to be held at 
Zeit-Foto Salon in Tokyo from 17 February to 12 March, 2005.

I hope you get a chance to see this little book and the exhibition.

Hope you're well!

Warmest regards,

Akiko

====================

That perfume of remembrance, the whiff of old dust, stillness.
How can others' recollections call up such feelings of nostalgia?
