Saikoro Tokyo

As part of mmy internship at Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo I will also be contributing to w+k tokyo lab's next DVD/book, Tokyo.Ten, which is due to be released later this year.

The way I see Tokyo is a bit like a board game — it’s a journey and an adventure, and every moment is a throw of dice, a random intersection of possibilities.
For this project I wanted to explore Tokyo by seeing where chance would take me. Many have the impression that Tokyo is all skyscrapers and huge crowds and scrambled crossings. But take step three streets off to the side and you’re in a whole new world. Hidden behind the four-lane roads are the narrow alleys, the overgrown vacant lots, faded posters and rusty signs. The lonely local parks, the laundry hanging from apartment blocks, these are the places tourists will never see. By choosinig my destinations in a completely random method, I would give myself the chance to see tokyo’s B-side.

I allowed my destinations to be decided by the “points” on a die. I developed a system of throwing the die to decide the page number and grid location of ten separate points on a newly acquired pocket map of the city and designated ten points to visit. Then, armed with a sketchbook and several cameras, I went on to document and record each point.

Point no. 01: page 124 "Oku"

Currently Listening
Plat du Jour
By Matthew Herbert

Thank you to everyone who showed up to the private view, to paul and claudia for the tunes, and to the fire brigade who showed up twice on account of some of the balloons escaping and getting trapped in front of the smoke detector setting off the fire alarm about twenty times. The rooms were packed and it was a really big success despite the fact that the evening ended in a hectic evacuation of the premises and a premature conclusion of the show. More photos coming soon on the grassroots website!

most of the photos are from before the crowd showed up. When the alarm went off we had about a hundred people outside the front entrance of the university, balloons with work attached going up all over the place, caught in the trees, drifting up and over elephant and castle. Maybe one special piece of art will find its way to your street?
