A Plan For Tokyo
During rise of suburbanisation in the 60s, Japanese architect Kenzo Tange's 'Plan for Tokyo' recieved attention for its radical concepts of floating cities and megastructures. Australian artist Max Creasy pays homage to Tange's motivations in his first self-published book A Plan For Tokyo.
Creasy's oblique photographic narratives span architecture, space and skateboarding, which inform an ambiguous yet harmonised view of Japan. By breaking the civic microcosm into a series of 'nature morte', his communication is superlative.
Max's photography has been published and exhibited both locally and internationally, having recently shown at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
A Plan For Tokyo leaves one aware that seemingly vacant spaces, consumables and connecting ramps can be more than municipal toys - they can demonstrate space as it relates to spirituality and humanity.
