Paperback. First edition. NEW with light wear at the spine. A postcard book: each page is perforated and can be removed. Along the strip that remains in the book is a series of photos related to the one on the card. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. 48 pages; 24 full-page color photographic reproductions; 5.25 x 9 inches. The Elevator Girls series--probably Miwa Yanagi's best known work--features identically clothed female models posed within surrealistic consumer-oriented architecture. The photographs present the women as anonymous and interchangeable display items as they gaze at the objects of consumer desire around them. According to Yanagi, Elevator Girls is about "myself and other Japanese women" who feel the kind of standardization that exists in modern Japanese society and elsewhere. Seller Inventory # 9556
