Tomoyuki Sakaguchi photographed individuals at night in the urban scenery of Tama New Town, a large residential development in western Tokyo. Something feels strangely unreal and artificial: accentuated by solitary figures and synthetic lighting, the newly built, history-less landscape appears like an unsettling diorama. The title likely refers to people returning late at night, perhaps from work or an outing with friends, but page by page the book gradually dissolves the sense that these manufactured spaces could function as homes at all. In the afterword Sakaguchi describes the red LED flicker as he presses the shutter, and the ultra-high-sensitivity noise and AI noise reduction that strip the images of photographic reality and give them a sense of virtual reality, as if the midnight intersections were linked to a parallel world.
