Araki at the Barbican
The sheer virtuosity, creativity and technical standards are overwhelming. Araki's photographic diaries remind me that photo blogs are nothing new, but also drive home the point that most are nothing more than nice pictures - whereas Araki produces stunning pictures. This exhibition confirms what a powerful and underrated art form photography is. I don't know if self.life.death is moving elsewhere when it closes in London on January 22nd 2006, but if you have the chance to see this exhibition jump at it.
