SETO Masato 瀬戸 正人

Living Room, Tokyo, is a series recording the residences of people who have moved to Tokyo. This series highlights the richly international side of Tokyo that unfolds within ordinary apartment buildings. When SETO Masato（1953－）visited the apartment in Tokyo where a woman from Thailand was living, he found that while the place was perfectly ordinary outside, once he stepped inside, it was a very Thai-style living space. He became greatly interested in these spaces, divided by mere walls, highly individual living spaces that could not be even imagined from outside. SETO shot all these works with an 8 by 10 inch large format camera. Since he was photographing inside, the exposure times were quite long, several seconds, during which his models had to hold still and hold their breath. As a result, they look somewhat like expressionless, generic mannequins placed in the room.
