Tokyo Symphony

No orchestra here. This week I stumbled upon this photo exhibition called Tokyo Symphony of a Dutch photographer who was fascinated by the Japanese culture.

The exhibition would end tomorrow so today I decided to take a quick look!

"Tokyo Symphony is a personal impression in image and sound of the overwhelming city of Tokyo by Holland's most famous photographer Ed van der Elsken"

Now, I'm not very into the photography world, so his name doesn't ring a bell in my head. The photographer visited Japan in the eighties, so the photos had a real eighties feel and look. A couple of photos were strong and told a story without words.

Loved this one. A man portraying Munch's "The Scream"

The exhibition itself was kind of small and wasn't very impressive. While the photos are nice, the exhibition lacked in presentation of the photos. Anyway, I expected more of it. Actually this clip wraps it up nicely and saves you a trip to the exhibition:
