Eikoh Hosoe: Does photography reflect truth?

Photographer Eikoh Hosoe discusses his photobook Kamaitachi (1969) and its theatrical reflection of real life. He considers the avant-garde performances documented in the publication, their star, and how Kamaitachi responded to the realism of work by other photographers of the time.
