Kohei Yoshiyuki’s The Park

Here’s a big virtual high-five of gratitude to Alec Soth for turning us (me) onto the work of Kohei Yoshiyuki, who’s currently showing at Yossi Milo in NY. Yoshiyuki took these photos in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo in 1971 with infrared film; they’re of nocturnal sexcapades in public parks—and of the voyeurs who love them.
