Críticas:

While seeming to cast a light on secret behavior, [the photographs in The Park] reveal the yearning that exists in voyeurism, the melancholy in desire.--Rebecca Bengal "The Art Gorgeous "

Yoshiyuki's cultishly popular work sits somewhere between Brassaï's Parisians by night, Weegee's infrared pictures of amorous moviegoers and Sophie Calle's photographic explorations of surveillance.--Rebecca Bengal "T Magazine "

The Park is a unique contribution to the annals of Japanese post-war photography, capturing that brief, weird liminal period of the country's history, its awkward adolescence between the bleak sixties, a decade of loss and defeat, and the eighties, when Japan once again seemed on the verge of ruling the world.--L'Oeil de la Photographie

Reseña del editor:

A signed, limited edition of Kohei Yoshiyuki's infamous 1970s photo series in a handsome presentation box

For his notorious Park photos, taken by night in Tokyo's Shinjuku, Yoyogi and Aoyama parks during the 1970s, Kohei Yoshiyuki (born 1946) used a 35mm camera, infrared film and flash to capture a secret community of lovers and voyeurs. His pictures document the people who gathered in these parks at night for clandestine trysts, as well as the many spectators lurking in the bushes who watched--and sometimes participated in--these couplings.

This limited edition of Kohei Yoshiyuki: The Park brings this collectible classic back into print with eight never-before-seen images, as well as documentation of the rare 1980 Japanese zines that predated the 2007 Hatje Cantz/Yossi Milo edition. The limited edition includes a signed copy of the book with a facsimile reproduction of the 1980 Japanese publication Document Koen (Document Park), offered together in a special presentation box. The edition is limited to 500 copies.
