Roppongi Hills in 'ironic' light

Postby Taro Toporific » Tue Jun 06, 2006 5:00 pm

[floatl]Image[/floatl] Roppongi Hills glitz, cast in an ironic light
- Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune 6/5/6
...photographer Kishin Shinoyama has produced an elegant and attractive book of snazzy building and celebrity shots (designer Vivienne Westwood and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, among others) that define Roppongi Hills...
...Shinoyama recognizes the machinery for what it is and takes a perverse delight in framing those images that attest to its workings and to the artificial air that perpetually wafts through the vents, the densely cocooned, ultra-controlled environment that is Roppongi Hills.
Only a few feet away stretches the infamous and filthy metropolitan expressway, straddling the dirty noodle stalls and sex shops that make up the rest of Roppongi. There's probably an urban moral to be drawn from all this, but Shinoyama slyly hides his message, inviting the reader to look and ponder and look again...more....
