Tsuguya Inoue (BEANS)
art work from
the movie “Zabriskie Point”
The publication comprises 24 pages in total, including the cover, produced from a single oversized sheet of paper measuring 59.5 × 120 cm, cut with a single horizontal slit across the center and folded down into book form. This distinctive binding method is reminiscent of formats often seen in Japanese dōjinshi (self-published works).
It was never made available for sale and did not circulate through regular distribution channels, and its very existence remains uncertain, making it one of the rarest Comme des Garçons publications.
This booklet was published by Comme des Garçons in 1996.
Its precise theme and purpose remain unclear, but together with its unconventional format, it stands as an exceptionally rare publication.
Designed by Tsuguya Inoue, who had long been responsible for Comme des Garçons’ advertising and printed materials, the booklet juxtaposes analog-textured images cut from the sand dune scenes in Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 film, a performance by Gutai Art Association member Saburo Murakami, and Pete Townshend of The Who smashing his guitar on stage, presenting these diverse cultural phenomena from around the world alongside documentation of Comme des Garçons’ collections and store openings.
The result reads like an internal journal—one that reflects on the social significance and positioning of Comme des Garçons itself.
