Tokyo Head
1998

A surreal photograph featuring a person with a magazine cover for a face, standing in front of a tiled wall with a green public phone to the right and a directional arrow sign above. The magazine cover displays a woman in a provocative pose with Japanese text. The person is dressed in a formal black suit with a white shirt and black tie. The image plays with perspective and obscures the person's identity.
