Suburbs are wrapped in an unsettling atmosphere: people live there, yet no sign of human life can be felt, perhaps because many of them have no roots in the place and came from somewhere else. Yoshihiko Saito captures that atmosphere in images that give viewers a comfortable sense of fear and gloom. In the afterword he writes that he was not born there and does not feel particularly attached to the place, that he even forgot the reason he moved there, and that, trying to accept it as the place where he currently lives, he goes around repeatedly recording the interior of imaginary lines.
