This book by Takashi Homma is part of our personal collection and has been specially selected for the May newsletter. Below, we’ll share some details about it.
- Takashi Homma’s Ginza Street is a response to Ed Ruscha’s Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
- It is also said that Every Building on the Sunset Strip is a response to Shohachi Kimura’s 1954 work Ginza Haccho, which features photographs by Yoshikazu Suzuki.
- Ginza Street is an accordion over seven meters long that depicts a nighttime panorama of Ginza Street in Tokyo, Japan.
- Both sides of the street are shown, so you can take a tour as you flip through the book.
- When the photograph ends, several blank pages remain in the accordion.
- We suspect that those blank pages are related to the remaining length of the Sunset Strip in Ed Ruscha’s book Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
