Fukase is a photographer best known for focusing obsessively on his wife. After she left him, he switched to photographing ravens, with a similar obsession, to symbolise his grief at the breakdown of the relationship. These works come from that series, ‘Solitude of Ravens’ (1986), which in 2010 was voted the best photobook of the past 25 years.
