Geribara 5 : Five Girls. (The Diarrhoea-Shit Reproductive Collective of 5–Nobuyoshi Araki, Yoshio Takase, Koji Yaehata, Naohosia Tabogami, Fukuo Ikeda, Tomoko Kamiguchi (‘Miss Geribara’).

Geribara 5 was an avant-garde collective formed in the wake of the Provoke group’s dissolution, and very much in the same irreverent, neo-Dada spirit. This book is the last of the three they published. All three are quite sought after. Araki was involved with the group, but according to Parr and Badger the extent of his contribution may have been limited to his clear conceptual influence on their activities.
