Lyrical images of the Magnum photographer's wanderings through the streets of Tokyo in the Nineties
Sightwalk gathers colourful scenes taken in the streets of Tokyo. Stolen moments of the everyday life of the city seem to be frozen into beauty: a car park in a shopping mall, a coffeeshop, the traditional sitting pose of a man at the fish market, Ueno park etc. Stamped with Gueorgui Pinkhassov’s unique eye for detail , they are characterized by his mastery of framing and light.
Pinkhassov sees the overlooked and neglected, bringing to life outstanding compositions with a distinctive visual language, which encompasses blurred foregrounds, vibrant color, reflections and shadows.
