Published for the 1990 edition of Paris's celebrated Mois de la Photo, this special issue of La Recherche Photographique is one of the most important French publications devoted entirely to Japanese photography at the end of the twentieth century. Edited by the influential historian and critic André Rouillé and produced by Paris Audiovisuel in collaboration with Université Paris VIII, the volume reflects the moment when Japanese photography began to be critically reassessed and canonized within European photographic discourse.

Through essays, interviews, portfolios, and critical studies, the issue examines the historical, aesthetic, and cultural foundations of postwar Japanese photography, bringing together perspectives from curators, scholars, and practitioners. Published at a pivotal moment in the international recognition of photographers such as Daido Moriyama, Shomei Tomatsu, Eikoh Hosoe, Nobuyoshi Araki, and other key figures, the journal offers a rare snapshot of how Japanese photography was being interpreted in France during the early 1990s.

More than a periodical, this issue functions as a compact scholarly reference and a significant artifact of the intellectual exchange between Japanese and European photographic cultures.

An increasingly scarce document for collectors of Japanese photography, photographic theory, and independent cultural publishing.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
