Green Face

A new publication by Hiromi Nakajima

“A grief that felt awkward, as if I miscalculated the sorrow of losing someone genealogically close, like cynical aftershocks for the finitude of being.”

Tokyo based author and painter Hiromi Nakajima, presents a new collection of writings on ethics and decision in the shadow of mortality, Green Face is a limited edition of 15 short stories and poems prompted by the sudden death of a distant Uncle.

The publication includes images rendered black and white as if drained of life, to hauntingly evoke a putrefying eroticism, these are not illustrations, any more than the text is intended to disclose private intimacies or summon an oracular spirit.

Set within an uncompromising urban landscape, words and pictures collude in a ritual of passage, as if a shrine somewhere between what is seen and something beyond description. Narratives of ordinary moments like staring at smudges on the bedroom ceiling, moments that can easily fracture and open portals to eternity within the ephemera of living.
