About the Book:
Kohei Yoshiyuki’s The Park reveals a hidden side of 1970s Japan. Taken at night in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama parks, Yoshiyuki used a 35mm camera, infrared film, and flash to document a secret world of lovers and voyeurs—capturing intimate encounters as well as the spectators who watched (and sometimes joined) from the shadows.
With their raw, snapshot-like aesthetic, these images expose not only the clandestine sexuality of their subjects but also challenge viewers to reflect on surveillance, privacy, and voyeurism. This newly expanded edition revives the cult classic with additional unpublished images and archival materials, offering the most comprehensive presentation of Yoshiyuki’s provocative work to date.
Yoshiyuki’s cultishly popular work sits somewhere between Brassaï’s Parisians by night, Weegee’s infrared pictures of amorous moviegoers and Sophie Calle’s photographic explorations of surveillance. While seeming to cast a light on secret behavior, they reveal the yearning that exists in voyeurism, the melancholy in desire.
