Yoyogi Daze Faced was a photo exhibition I had in September 2009. These photos were taken over a few summers in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo. There used to be free outdoor DJ trance parties under the trees every warm Sunday evening in the park. I used to go there every Sunday and take photos in a hazy state of dissobriety. I dont remember how it came about that I started taking these photos with long shutters and a flash, but it seemed fitting that the photos come out all blurry and fucked up, kind of captured the mood of the whole scene. They were great parties, but unfortunately the governor of Tokyo shut down all outdoor entertainment around the park in a bid to get the Olympics to Tokyo. His plan was to pave over Tokyo’s largest park and build a stadium. Thankfully he lost the bid and Yoyogi survived. Unfortunately these parties didnt.
