About

Published by Asahi Shimbun in 1983, "New York/Anarchy" is a photography collection by Japanese photographer Nobita Jūki, born in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1943. After moving to New York in his late 20s, he worked as a studio assistant before becoming a freelance fashion and commercial photographer. This collection focuses on works originally featured in Asahi Graph, highlighting "another America" captured in New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Hawaii. It documents the darker side of the American experience, portraying issues such as drugs, sex, violence, and poverty, and reflecting on the "spiritual poverty" of urban life despite the nation’s economic prosperity.
