Setsuo Ogawa: A Radical Chaotic Tour

This book documents nearly a decade of photographic work by Setsuo Ogawa. Produced between Japan, Europe and New York, the series captures urban life, subculture and personal observation through a raw, diaristic lens. The work sits between documentary practice and subjective city chronicle, reflecting Ogawa’s background in independent magazine culture of the 1980s.

Published in 2005 by Andrews Press, the book brings together images from 1988 to 1997 in a cohesive volume that traces a formative period in the photographer’s career. A compelling document of late-20th-century urban atmosphere.
