BOOK, Mmmmmmmmmm.
It's finally here! After sifting through literally thousands of images, "I AM TOKYO NIGHT ~ Vol. 1 (2008)" is finally finished and ready for the masses. Compiled from events till the end of 2008, every picture has been redeveloped and reprocessed especially for this book. Each frame tells a story and I've scribbled my musings alongside the pictures in both English and Japanese in order to let you see the stories they are telling ME.... as well as outright confuse you. There are also QR codes on every page, further deepening the mystery and likely to offend as well as frighten some of you as they force-feed you images from the depths of the internet. Where will the magic codes take you? Paradise? Inferno? Ohio?
So, you've got a photobook that is more than, secret messages scattered about the QR codes, and a snapshot of one of the world's most vibrant and diverse night scenes served up in intimate fashion. Well worth the price of entry.
So whether you're looking for a gift for that Nipponophile friend of yours, a snapshot of contemporary Japanese culture that has nothing to do with high school girls dressed up like french maids, or something to put on your coffee table and disturb your visitors, show your support and grab a copy.
or ten.
-peace.
ついにできたぞ、I AM TOKYO NIGHTの第一写真集！このコレクションは２００８年に俺が取材したイベントから俺が気に入る写真等のセレクション。喜び、悲しみ、情熱、恐怖など、この本に入っている写真の全部は話がある。すべてのページに、俺の考え方の一部は日本語及び英語も書かれて、インタネットの深淵の闇へのQRコードもかけている。使ったらいったいどこまで連れていけるだろうか？
この本はただのパーティーシーンの写真集じゃない。これは日本の夜の暗闇と喜びの間についての美術だ。
ぜひ、一冊を。
