第24回木村伊兵衛写真賞を受賞し、1990年代の都市風景を捉えた代表作『東京郊外（Tokyo Suburbia）』をはじめ、『東京の子供』や『Tokyo and my daughter』といった複数の重要なシリーズから図版が厳選されています。前世代の写真家たちが捉えた情念的な東京のイメージから距離を置き、現代の都市が抱える無機質さと、そこに暮らす人々の親密さを静かに描写にしています。作者が今なお継続する東京へのアプローチの初期の活動を横断的に読み解くことができる、作品の変遷を辿る上でも貴重な一冊です。

A monograph recording the city of Tokyo from the multifaceted perspective of Takashi Homma, one of the leading figures in contemporary Japanese photography. Published in 2008 by the New York-based publisher Aperture.
The volume comprises carefully selected plates from several of the artist’s key series. These include his seminal work Tokyo Suburbia, which captured the urban landscapes of the 1990s and won the 24th Kimura Ihei Award, alongside Tokyo Children and Tokyo and My Daughter. Homma’s flat gaze distances itself from the emotive depictions of Tokyo captured by previous generations of photographers, quietly highlighting the sterility of the modern city and the intimate lives of its inhabitants. This book serves as a valuable resource for tracing the evolution of his practice, offering a comprehensive overview of his early approaches to a subject he continues to explore today.
