In the drawings of Kizawa Youichi, bodies, objects and plants are scattered around without hierarchy in strange landscapes. Pictures drawn “as barren as possible, in a narrow kitchen.” Ultimately, this is a world of lines, where the least amount of pressure seems to have been applied to the pen, giving the image a sense of improvisation. The titles/captions read like short prose, straddling the line between the ordinary and the wondrous. English/Japanese text. With the publication of Final Fruit, Garganta Press inaugurates a new series of small books: b/w. Words + images, because “words are also something you look at, and images are also something you read.” — Michel Butor
