Untitled from the series "Tokyo and my Daughter". 2005-2006. Chromogenic print mounted on dibond. 80 x 100 cm. Signed and editioned "1/3" by the artist in black marker on the verso.

This and the following two photographs are from Takashi Homma’s series "Tokyo and my Daughter", a contemplative body of work that captures the Japanese capital through understated, often impersonal topographical views. Homma presents Tokyo’s everyday architecture - residential façades, commercial streets, and construction sites - with cool detachment and formal clarity. These urban scenes are interspersed with images of a young girl introduced as his daughter (though she is actually the daughter of a friend), subtly challenging assumptions of authorship and intimacy. Through this juxtaposition of borrowed affection and dispassionate observation, Homma offers a portrait of Tokyo that is at once analytical and quietly lyrical. – Small scratch in top left corner, otherwise in near excellent condition.
