Louis Vuitton celebrates sakura season this spring with a new addition to its Fashion Eye photography book series dedicated to Osaka, photographed by Jean-Vincent Simonet.
Far from the picturesque, the French photographer embarks us on a psychedelic journey through the city.
Jean-Vincent Simonet does not simply visit Osaka, he loses himself in it, shifting atmospheres, free of preconceptions or even intent.
His shots are taken by day or night, with a telephoto lens, large-format camera or smartphone, sometimes left as is, sometimes retouched by hand. Together, they recreate the texture of an industrial and rebellious city, a vast collage whose retro-futuristic charm inspired Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner.
From the heights of the Tower of the Sun to the depths of min-bars at the Mittera Kaikan, the journey morphs into a borderline experience.
