Masahisa Fukase — Noboribetsu Hot Spring, (mFv75)
Masahisa Fukase

Noboribetsu Hot Spring, (mFv75)

A stark and haunting black-and-white photograph by Masahisa Fukase, this ferrotyped gelatin silver print captures the ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere of Noboribetsu Hot Spring with the artist's signature brooding intensity. The high-gloss ferrotyping process lends the image a deep, mirror-like surface that heightens the contrast between light and shadow, amplifying the sulfurous steam and volcanic landscape. Rooted in Fukase's deeply personal and melancholic visual language, the work transforms a Japanese thermal landscape into something both intimate and unsettling.
