Homma Takashi is known as being emblematic of the new generation of Japanese photography. In 1998, he received the 24th Kimura Ihei Photography award for his series "Tokyo Kougai TOKYO SUBURBIA", a momentous collection that definitively influenced Japanese photographic expression. Using scenes of parking lots of residential areas like Shounan and Urayasu, or in gardens of apartment complexes, he takes images of the children that grew up there, entirely removed of dramatic development. From within the everyday, a scene of "reality" is quietly resonant.

"Tokyo Suburbia"
I realized - since childhood I've eaten at family restaurants, there was always a McDonald's drive thru, and next to my house was a large highway.
On my way home, there were always girls and boys hanging out in front of the train station.
What suburbia means, for me, isn't anything, not memories or stories.
It's shiny buildings, disinfected plastic tables, the silky-smooth skin of girls or dark places of violence.
The whole of these basic things, which is obvious, is that spreading within one scene is its reality.
