Going Underground: gasping for life on the Tokyo Subway

Michael Wolf went on the Michael Underground - so you don't have to

Tokyo Subway riders

 

Tokyo is busy. The city’s subway caught the eye of photographer Michael Wolf. In ‘Tokyo Compression’, we see people riding the trains. As he writes:

“The images create a sense of discomfort as his victims attempt to squirm out of view or simply close their eyes, wishing the photographer to go away.”
