“Tokyo Bites” is what Stefan Banz calls the photos he took in the Japanese metropolis. Bites – the word might refer to those snacks served to make a reception more pleasant, to tickle our taste buds, to open and keep tempt- ing our senses for the rest of the evening; but bites can also denote those bites we inflict on each other in moments of intense pleasure, to perhaps increase our arousal by adding a pinch of pain. Banz clearly has both these meanings in mind: visual appetisers to whet our hunger for the city as well as love bites that sink into the city’s flesh like teeth, challenging and tender, quick and furtive, always keen to find its overlooked, unpro- tected spots.
