In the 1960s, he published a collection of photographs based on newspaper and magazine clippings and television images, and this is his first book. This book is said to be the forerunner of 'found photography', and it is a 'new world' that can be seen by detaching the 'background' of newspaper and magazine illustrations, which used to have a 'meaning' such as 'capturing the truth', 'recording' or 'adding captions', and looking at the illustrations in a flat manner.
Extracts from newspaper articles written between 1962 and 1967. The pictures reveal the American grip on Japan in general, and on its culture and habits in particular (for instance, we can see images of sports such as baseball).
The photographic act is replaced here by the cutting of the image giving it its own framing.
Miyazaki Koichi made these pictures his own to question their meaning and not without implying political issues.
