東京郊外 TOKYO SUBURBIA
€673.00
A photographic exploration of Tokyo's suburban landscapes, capturing the uniform and soul-less aesthetic of housing complexes and parking lots in the late 20th century.
Tokyo Suburbia captures the landscapes of Tokyo's new suburbs, including Tama New Town, Konan New Town, and Makuhari New Town. The book presents 64 photographs that reveal a time-period aesthetic of homogenization and automated control, characterized by uniform housing, parking lots, and gardens. The visual style is noted for its saturated colors and flat textures, devoid of dramatic development or nostalgia, presented instead as a 'new documentary' of the mundane. The work features artistic direction by designer Takuya Ohara and includes a map of the shooting locations, as well as texts by architect Momoko Kaida and sociologist Shinsuke Miyata.
