In December 2010, Michael Wirth spent a week in Tokyo, observing the city through his camera. “I went on my own, and the first few days were quite lonely,” he recalls. “Sometimes it felt as though doors were closed to me. People were polite and helpful, and I always felt safe, but there are some things that it seems impossible to become part of if you are a visitor.”
By the end of the week, Michael says, he slowly began to comprehend Tokyo. The portfolio “Tokyo,” which you can view at issuu.com, contains some of his favorite images from his time there.
