The »Japanese Lesson« artist book consists of 13 chapters. Each chapter shows a ‚walk‘ either on a border of a district in Tokyo or Osaka which inhabitants experience discrimination and stigmatisation often due to the geographic history; or the walk could lead around or towards a (construction) site related to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
On each walk we take photographs every 100 or 200 meters in the the walking direction. In this way we create about 300 photographs during a 3 hour walk which later becomes a book, a video or a wall piece.
Of each chapter of the artist book there also exist unique maquettes including 100 to 300 images (see page 18)
