Japanese artist Shinro Ohtake’s vast, decades-long career incorporates a multitude of formats, from sketched portraits to a public bath house. However, he is perhaps best known for his Scrapbooks, a series that spans over thirty years’ time and revolves around themes such as neglect and the inability to maintain interest. Ohtake notes that for the project he utilized discarded items found around the house, a habit which he first developed as a child by collecting scraps from the disposal area in a plastic factory near where he grew up. Books about the life and work of Shinro Ohtake can be found at the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries, including a life-spanning retrospective that numbers over 1000 pages in length. -- source link
