My co-professor in Photography put up some images and text on the walls for students to gain some knowledge of what’s going on in the world and draw inspiration from it. These images, taken with the flash of the infrared bulbs, have had more than a question or two asked about what is going on in them.

“WHY are the Japanese couples in Kohei Yoshiyuki’s photographs having sex outdoors? Was 1970s Tokyo so crowded, its apartments so small, that they were forced to seek privacy in public parks at night? And what about those peeping toms? Are the couples as oblivious as they seem to the gawkers trespassing on their nocturnal intimacy?”
