Tokyo by Harry Gruyaert | MAGNUM
TOKYO TODAY (1996): A SUBJECTIVE STATEMENT | Harry GRUYAERT participated in this large project organized by the EU Japan Fest Japan Commitee with the collaboration of the cities of Tokyo and Copenhagen and the cultural capitals of Europe 1985-2000. - The selected photographers were allowed to spend 3 weeks in Tokyo, working freely. No bounds, no restrictions. - The concern of the organisers was: "What we've requested of these photographers who've come from other places,is to render a vision of the city that they are often discovering for the first time,to let themselves be seduced by the charm so peculiar to this city,to the excess of contrasts,to the ambiguity of options,to the magic of a constant conflict between past and present". (Gruyaert/Magnum)
