Tokyo Midnight explores the Asian megalopolis, and the ways Tokyo comes to life between dusk and dawn in a futuristic neonscape, a time when the natural light disappears, and the artificial light takes over. The images were photographed by Kip Scott in early 2019 and early 2020 (just before the Covid 19 pandemic exploded), the year the original Blade Runner film was set, and as such interrogate the commercial nature of urban utopias while celebrating the technical and creative sophistication of the East, as to opposed to the rapidly diminishing global dominance of the West. The beguiling photographs are accompanied by a moving essay on her home town Tokyo by Katherine Tamiko Arguile, author of The Things She Owned and Meshi, published by Affirm.
