In 1977, Nakahira fell into a coma due to acute alcohol poisoning during a home party, and when he woke up he had lost some of his memory and language ability. This is the first photo book he produced since then.

A New Gaze presents images and diary entries Nakahira made as he recovered and literally began to rediscover language--both photographic and verbal. From the artist: "My photography is an absolute necessity for me, having forgotten everything."
