今回紹介の展覧会は、“アラーキー”の愛称で親しまれる日本が誇る天才写真家・荒木 経惟（あらき のぶよし）氏の個展『The Incomplete Araki: Sex, Life, and Death in the Work of Nobuyoshi Araki（ザ・インコンプリート・アラキ）』。50年かけて「写真に存在する“親密性”」を追求してきた写真家に関する400冊の書籍、150のプリント、500のポラロイドが埋め尽くす。
アラーキーの代名詞でもある緊縛美や、そこから紐解くポルノとアート、性差別、芸術における東洋女性へのフェティシズム、作品にはらむコントラバーシャルな側面を考察できるほか、妻・陽子を被写体にした『センチメンタルな旅』、レディ・ガガのポートレートなど、アラーキーの半世紀を目に焼きつけることができる。開催場所は、おっぱいトランポリンでも話題となったニューヨークの「Museum of Sex（セックス博物館）」、開催期間は2018年8月31日まで。
