Tokyo Nobody
Tokyo Nobody is a picture book by Masataka Nakano in which he took many photos of the same scenery, and used them to “erase” people from the places. When you have been in Tokyo for even 10 minutes, you really appreciate the feeling of calm and serenity coming from these pictures and also the amount of work and preparation needed for such a task.

Actually, Tokyo Nobody is not a manipulated book. Nakano spent years and years taking those photos, waiting for the time when there was absolutely nobody in the scenery. They’re mostly taken around sunrise when there are few people out, but it’s still a massive project, and pretty incomprehensible.

Where did you get this information ? I also read several times, from different sources, that the whole work wasn’t digitally retouched… That’s the first time I read something else ! Do you still have the source of this info please ? I’d be very pleased if you do. Thank’s,
Fang.
