Ah, modern life: so much isolation and disaffection, all that's left to do sometimes is take off your clothes and deadpan for the camera. Nowhere more so, perhaps, than Japan, where the proliferation of big-city malaise and cute girls means so much good indie erotica for us. Forget the antiseptic clean streets that typically represent Sushi Nation; photographer Mayumi inhabits a universe of littered alleys, kitchen floors and funny hats. To explore the site, first click on "Mayumi" and then use the boombox icon to navigate through several series of edgy, atmospheric self-portraits. A. Tolesco
