About this photobook「Brick Yard」

This photobook is an ultimate presentation of a project that focused on the workers of a brickyard in Bangladesh by photographer Akihito Yoshida in 2012.

It’s printed on a large format so that the overwhelming scale of the working environment of the brickyard can be conveyed to the viewers.

The choice of paper, tabloid, is made in order to transform the texture of the bricks that workers touch everyday there.

The binding process of the book was done entirely by hands of more than 30 volunteers one by one in order to represent and honor the manual labor of brick making the workers are committed to.

It is my hope that viewers slip into the reality of the environment of the brickyard full of noise and smell as they flip page after page.

Furthermore, I strongly wish that this photobook would help viewers extend their thoughts on the ever lasting questions of labor and life.

一冊一冊、手で綴じた写真集

2011年にバングラデシュ撮った写真を再構成、
吉田亮人写真集「Brick Yard」として一冊の本にまとめました。
タブロイド判大きなページは圧倒的なスケール感で、
ザラザラとした手触りの紙はレンガ工場の土埃を想像させます。
また製本は、日本の有志の方の協力のもと、一冊一冊手作業で糸で綴じました。
とじ糸の色や、縫い方も人それぞれです。同じものはひとつとしてない、
手づくりだからこその味わいをぜひ感じてください。
