Tokyo 7
During my time working as a photographer after the devastating tsunami in 2011, I became completely fascinated by Japan, especially Tokyo. Despite the devastation, the Japanese were calm and collected and they showed almost none of their private sorrow. As a city, Tokyo seemed practically untouched. I couldn’t help wondering what was behind the façade. How do the Japanese handle sorrow, loneliness and the demands of society? Above all, I wondered how my generation lived their daily lives there. I knew I would go back and look for a more intimate Tokyo. Later, after a long period of working on news reports and multiple-year projects, I began longing for that artistic trance that can only be experienced during really intense, short periods of unreserved photographing, and I knew right away that it was Tokyo I needed to go to.
