Profiling is structured as an interview between Hiroshi Takizawa and Charline Mayer. The book reflects on systems of visual classification and the construction of identity through photographic representation, questioning how individuals are framed and interpreted within social and visual regimes.

Together, these works position the book as an expanded field where image, text, and structure operate as interdependent layers of meaning.

Hiroshi Takizawa's artist books explore the relationship between photographic image-making, editorial structure, and spatial perception. Working across fragmented visual sequences and constructed situations, his practice examines how meaning emerges through editing, framing, and contextual displacement.
