Shot in the 1970s across Tokyo’s Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama parks using 35mm infrared film and flash, Yoshiyuki’s images reveal a hidden nocturnal ecosystem of lovers, voyeurs, and drifting figures of every sexuality and age. The photographer’s presence is never neutral—his camera aligned with those who watched, or sometimes joined, anonymous couplings in the dark. With their stark, raw composition, these photographs occupy a tense space between documentary and transgression, recalling Brassaï’s \u003cem data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"907\"\u003eParis de Nuit\u003c\/em\u003e, Weegee’s flash-lit cinemas, and Sophie Calle’s meditations on looking and being seen. What they ultimately expose is not simply secret behaviour, but the shared complicity of desire. This slipcased edition of 500 includes both the facsimile of \u003cem data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003eDocument Koen\u003c\/em\u003e and a new monograph featuring unpublished material and contextual texts, situating Yoshiyuki’s work as a lens on voyeurism, urban anonymity, and the melancholy of surveillance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eTitle: The Park + Document Koen (Limited Edition)\u003cbr data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Kohei Yoshiyuki\u003cbr data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1331\"\u003eDate: 2023 (facsimile), originally 1980\u003cbr data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1373\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eEdition: 500\u003cbr data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with silver gelatin print reproduction, slipcased box\u003cbr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003eDimensions (cm): 22 × 29\u003cbr data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1539\"\u003eLanguage: Japanese, English\u003cbr data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003ePages: 112 (The Park), facsimile of original \u003cem data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1629\"\u003eDocument Koen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Session Press, Goliga\u003cbr data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1676\"\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604788441426,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_6a575741-1d0f-414f-a256-44a8fce0d530.jpg?v=1769888613","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/the-park-document-koen-limited-edition-kohei-yoshiyuki","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
