Curated in close collaboration with Araki, the balance between life (sex) and death is the common thread running through the carefully considered selection of his works to date.
A particular high-light of the exhibition is the presentation of the till now unpublished series Alluring Hell from the eighties. Araki painted with colours over the originally black and white nude photos, breathing new life into them as a result.
