Too Negative, published by Tom Shobo 1994 - 2001, is a Japanese cult subculture photo book series edited by legend publisher and gallery owner Kotaro Kobayashi.
The magazine’s format was an admixture of classic archival and curiosity magazine, mondo, frontier contemporary art and fetishism - all wrapped in glossy vibrant fashion aesthetics. Too Negative’s origin may be found in the concepts of ‘Eros’ and ‘Thanatos’ - a lineage it share with previous controversial prints such as: The Japanese 1920s erotic grotesque magazine Hentai Shiriou (Pervert Documents), Shibusawa Tasuhiko’s 1960s avant-garde journal Le Sang Et La Rose, to Fiction Inc’s Sale2 published from 1980 into the mid-’90s. But where Le Sang Et La Rose and Sale2 today may be described as subtle, clandestine or refined in intent; Too Negative was a visceral and visually explosive front that reflected the gory-depraved-beyond salvation-bad taste expressions visible in international subculture as well as the new evolving markets in contemporary art and home entertainment. Too Negative was solely curated by Kobayashi. The editorial consisted of themes such as: Medical/autopsy, grotesque and contemporary art, Japanese bondage - kinbaku, death journalism, erotica, war, crime scene photography, tattooing and the bizarro realm. Frequent collaborators and featured artist were: Trevor Brown, Kiyoshi Ikejiri, Kiyotaka Tsurisaki, Joel-Peter Witkin and Hiroshi Yokoi to site a few.
This issue in selection: Artists Joe Coleman, Taga-Shin, Joel-Peter Witkin, Andres Serrano, Paul McCarthy; crime scene photography from legend early 20th Century Japanese book ‘Bild Des Verbrechens In Ela Granti’, ‘The Killing Fields: Photographs from the S-21 death camp’ - a grim yet fascinating collection of Khmer Rouge photographs of prisoners as they were checked in to the S-21 death camp, medical photography.
