This is the collection of works "Tokyo" by Takashi Homma, a photographer who represents contemporary Japan.
Aperture is a non-profit organization specializing in photography, established in the United States in 1952. It has supported photography culture in various ways, including holding exhibitions, publishing photography books, and nurturing photographers. This book is the first one published by Aperture for a Japanese photographer.
It compiles Homma's "Tokyo series" from the 90s to the 00s, including "Tokyo Suburbia," which won the Ihei Kimura Photography Award.
Although Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama have also presented many works on the theme of "Tokyo," in contrast to Araki's personal photographic style and Moriyama's dense expression, Homma depicts subjects such as the city center and suburbs, housing complexes and detached houses, people and buildings, as "landscapes" in a calm and inorganic manner. His worldview, which captures the diverse aspects of the city of Tokyo from various perspectives and distances in a flat way, is realized as a series of landscapes that exude a unique individuality while excluding personal elements.
