TOKYO BLUR
by CESAR ORDOÑEZ
TOKYO BLUR is the first photobook published by César Ordóñez. His fourth project carried out in the Japanese capital, with which he has a close relationship for years. Through images in black and white, mostly of them at night and often close to abstraction, he takes us to a mysterious, sensual and "blurred" Tokyo. A blur, as he explains, has a metaphorical intention:
“I'm in Tokyo. It's dark and raining. Everything blurs around me. The faces, lights, the times I’ve gone through. I feel myself fading away, losing control. I’m not worried, far from it: a sense of stillness, recognition and renewal flows through me. Beyond the first mists that hampered my sight, everything now comes limpid, crystal clear. I begin to tidy up my lifetime, trying to comprehend why I came here”.
