Comprising more than two hundred photos taken over thecourse of three weeks, the third book in the Still Lifes seriesleaves the United States for the busy streets of Tokyo, resultingin a volume that is both of a piece with and dramatically differentfrom Still Lifes: California and Still Lifes: USA. The roughly translated advertising blurb for the Tokyo hotel where Rudy VanderLans booked his stay promised "a world of stillness and motion, ¿ and VanderLans used this as his creative prompt.Over the course of his stay, VanderLans walked over a hundredmiles, camera in hand, capturing an extensive document ofTokyo's lived-in details. Just as much care has been taken in thearrangement of the photos, with adjacent images often mirroringone another despite their wildly different subjects. Conspicuouslydevoid of human figures for such a populous city, these photos capture a Tokyo beneath the surface of the crowd, presentinga version of the city rarely seen in media of any kind.
