For his famous park photos, taken at night in Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama parks in Tokyo in the 1970s, KOHEI YOSHIYUKI used a 35mm camera, infrared film, and flash to capture a secret community of lovers and voyeurs of different ages and sexualities. His photographs document the people who gathered in these parks at night for clandestine rendezvous, as well as the many onlookers lurking in the bushes who observed - and sometimes participated in - these couplings.
This new complete edition of Kohei Yoshiyuki: The Park brings this collectible classic back to the market and includes new images and material.
