ASIA ISSUE 01

アジアをテーマにした年一回刊行雑誌の創刊号。アジアという広大で多様な大地を舞台に、そこに生きる人々の視点と、旅人や移住者のまなざしを交差させながら、アジアのイメージを多層的に映し出す。

創刊号である本号は、世界各地で活躍する10名の写真家が参加。マーティン・パー(Martin Parr)は30年以上にわたるインド滞在を通して、日常と祝祭が入り混じる風景をユーモラスに捉え、イ・ジョンジン(Jungjin Lee)は韓国・済州島の自然を墨のようなトーンで表現。ファラ・アル・カシミ(Farah Al Qasimi)はドバイの巨大ショッピングモール「Dragon Mart」を舞台に、グローバリゼーションと消費社会を軽やかに描く。

アレック・ソス(Alec Soth)は日本・北海道を舞台に、言語がうまく通じぬ女性との7日間の旅を記録した未発表作品を32ページにわたり再構成する。ナイジェル・シャフラン(Nigel Shafran)は香港と深圳の何気ない日常を淡々と写し出し、シャオペン・ユアン(Xiaopeng Yuan)はアジア社会における男性像を再演させるユーモラスな演出で現代性を問いかける。

さらに、バングラデシュのサーカー・プロティック(Sarker Protick)は、発展と痛みのはざまで変化するベンガル地方を長期的に記録し、パリを拠点とするリュウ・イカ(Ryu Ika)は内モンゴルを舞台に、母と子の記憶をめぐる幻想的な映像を重ねている。

トルコのエジェ・ギョカルプ(Ece Gökalp)は、採掘によって変容するラトモス山地をリサーチし、忘れられた自然と文明の関係を問う。金沢の写真家・河野幸人は、自身の書店兼ギャラリー「IACK」の日常を撮影し、本号のラストを飾る。

本誌は、編集長・発行人・上岡巧、アートディレクションとデザインをリ・モハン(Menghan Li)が担当し、年に一度パリにて刊行される。

A new photo-based publication on Asia. Featuring previously unseen work by Alec Soth, alongside contributions from Martin Parr, Nigel Shafran, and Sarker Protick.

Launching in autumn 2025 and based in Paris, asia is a new photo-based publication exploring the vast and diverse landscapes of the Asian continent. Through the eyes of those who live there and those who pass through, it seeks to reveal multiple layers of Asia — its intimacy, contradictions, and quiet beauty.

The first issue features ten photographers from around the world.
Martin Parr offers a humorous yet critical view of everyday life and festivity in India, where he has worked for over three decades. Jungjin Lee captures the natural landscapes of Jeju Island, South Korea, in deep, ink-like tones. Farah Al Qasimi explores Dubai’s massive shopping complex Dragon Mart, portraying the surreal aesthetics of globalization and consumption.

Alec Soth presents a previously unpublished body of work shot in Hokkaido, Japan — a seven-day journey with a woman he met by chance, reconstructed across 32 pages. Nigel Shafran quietly documents everyday life in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, while Xiaopeng Yuan playfully stages modern masculinity in contemporary Asian society.

From Bangladesh, Sarker Protick continues his long-term documentation of the Bengal region amid transformation and tension. Ryu Ika, based in Paris, explores memory and motherhood through dreamlike images from Inner Mongolia.

Ece Gökalp examines the Latmos Mountains in Turkey, tracing the scars of mining and questioning the relationship between nature and civilization. Yukihito Kono photographs the daily life of IACK — his bookstore and gallery in Kanazawa, Japan — closing the issue with quiet introspection.

asia is edited and published by Ko Ueoka, with art direction and design by Menghan Li, and will be released annually from Paris.
