Tokyo Plain

This collection of photographs paints an intimate portrait of Tokyo, the city the Austrian-born photographer-filmaker-graphic artist Edgar Honetschläger has called home since 1991. Rejecting the ubiquitous imagery of skyscrapers, bullet trains, neon signs, and pedestrian and traffic-clogged streets, Honetschläger instead seeks the islands of calm within urban Tokyo. Rare early-morning shots capture a still-deserted Tokyo at dawn, with an overcast sky and very few people in its famous streets. His Tokyo is a place of quiet gardens and reflection. The artist’s own poetic observations are arranged like bookmarks among the photographs, which were taken with an ordinary medium-format camera. A beautiful book which re-frames the reader’s thinking about Tokyo. http://www.rampub.com/photography/978-3-901756-97-9?PHPSESSID=78a787625a49ad277f56eefe9bcd48d3
