A Large-Format Board-Book Sequel to Homma's Seminal Photobook Tokyo Suburbia
Over six years, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma (born 1962) documented the Tokyo landscape and cityscape in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Tokyo Olympia, a continuation and reinterpretation of Homma’s seminal photobook Tokyo Suburbia, is designed as a large-format board book and captures the massive scale of the megalopolis.
The book documents significant sites, including the old National Stadium and its transformation into the new National Stadium, as well as the Tsukiji Market shortly before its relocation to Toyosu Market.
Homma’s photography is characterized by a uniquely cool gaze, rejecting sentimentality and portraying subjects with a distinctive sense of distance and tonal restraint. Acclaimed in both the photography and contemporary art worlds, Homma’s canonical and highly collectible Tokyo Suburbia (1998) received the Kimura Ihei Commemorative Photography Award in 1999.
