Contrary to our vision of a hyper-stressed, overcrowded Japan, Martin Parr has delicately isolated sleeping passengers, serene to the point of becoming perfectly disturbing, lost in this public, shameless abandon.
Beyond the anecdotal, their immobility grips us like a reunion, in the most trivial of moments, with the intimacy of dreams.
And then, as always with Martin Parr, the real point is also in the criticism of the faith we place in photographic images.
After all, who's to say that people who appear to be asleep are really asleep?
