RENDER YOURSELF EMPTY PHOTOGRAPHY BY MASARU TATSUKI
62 VICE
In 1994, at the age of 19, Masaru first visited Tǀhoku, one of the most remote, breathtakingly beautiful regions of Japan. The place stayed with him throughout his life, and in 2006 he returned to photograph the region “from the viewpoint of the people of the ancient land.” He followed deer hunters, met a group of brothers who still used primitive spear-fishing methods to catch swordfish, and became friendly with a nearly blind shaman who claimed she could hear the voices of the dead. After the devastating earthquake of March 11, 2011, and the tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns that followed, much of what Masaru had photographed in Tǀhoku was destroyed or drastically changed forever (the epicenter of the quake was less than 50 miles away from the area). Over the course of the last year he has returned many times to document the still ancient-seeming place.

These portraits are from Annie’s forthcoming selfpublished book, Five Inches of Limbo. It was inspired by dolls found in junk stores and Margaret Atwood’s “Five Poems for Dolls,” also included in the book. Annie’s models are mostly strangers she met on the streets of New York or on the subway.
