A photo story woven over three years by Chikashi Kasai and his model Nanano. Since the mid-1990s Kasai has turned a private gaze on portraits and nudes, depicting the people of the city sometimes rawly, sometimes with deep feeling. Nanano regards her naked body as a kind of costume and, as a lover of the female form, also photographs herself and other women. Shot around Tokyo and in Taiwan and near Lake Yamanaka, against the waterside and forests of Nanano's hometown, city high-rise hotels and streets, a new eros is born with each frame.
