These systems enforce norms and order and are often subconsciously internalized, leading to a kind of voluntary submission. He sought resistance to the ubiquitous influence of power and capital, which permeates everyday life and alienates the individual. Provoke was initiated in order to foster thought, and develop a fundamental language, capable of countering these forces. Nakahira’s spearheading of ‘landscape theory’ stemmed from recognizing these systems as manifested in the landscape that surrounds us.”\u003cbr\u003e― from Rei Masuda’s introduction, “Tracing the Arc of Nakahira Takuma’s Career”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Fine \/ As New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bendowa Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48040358609070,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/0149\/3166\/files\/Nakahira-Takuma-Burn-Overflow.jpg?v=1783095560","url":"https:\/\/bendowabooks.com\/products\/nakahira-takuma-burn-overflow","provider":"Bendowa Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
