Jonathan Crow, USA Tokai 2003, USA 19’00’’

I shot Tokai on a trip to Japan, where I had lived previously for 2 1/2 years. Sick of the usual depictions of that country - geishas, pachinko parlors, Mt. Fuji - I made a vow with myself to shoot nothing that caught my eye when I first arrived. Instead, I found myself documenting the stuff common to any urban experience-trains, storefronts, buildings and the like. The title Tokai means "urban" in Japanese.
