Sohei Nishino's first photobook is a tome of 496 pages devoted to one diorama map, transposing this artist's unique methodology to the photobook form itself. Since 2003, photographer Sohei Nishino has made nearly twenty diorama maps of various cities around the world. The artist spends months at a time to walk the streets of each city and photograph upwards of 10,000 exposures using 35mm film. After printing his myriad rolls of film as contact sheets, he pieces together the individual frames with meticulous detail over a canvas of several square meters. The final assemblages are a new kind of map that document Nishino's experience of the city. For the Diorama Map Tokyo (2014), Nishino spent nearly three months in the autumn of 2014 walking the streets of Tokyo as well as riding its rivers in canoes to capture the city from near-countless angles. This publication makes use of the book format to show a magnified view of the completed Diorama Map Tokyo by dividing it into 496 sections. The first page begins with the upper left-hand corner of the map and progresses horizontally; the last page reproduces the bottom right-hand corner.
