”Photographer and filmmaker Pascal Greco will present his new book, TOKYO FLASH, which brings together around a hundred photographs taken in Tokyo during the summer of 2025. This project was born out of a desire to capture the city in a different way: not to describe it, but to convey its vibe. To achieve this, Pascal Greco chose to use a compact, automatic camera. He decided to fire the flash before his gaze had time to settle. Without aiming, in a quick, almost accidental gesture, the image snatches a piece of the night, a fragment of colour. Nothing is framed, everything is captured.

The films were developed using cross-processing, producing unpredictable and contrasting hues, offering an altered vision of the city where chemistry plays its part. The image explains nothing; it flickers.
Thanks to his regular stays in Tokyo over the past twenty years for various photographic and film projects, Pascal Greco has now managed to detach himself from this megacity: the images are born in the moment they escape him. A drift of the aesthetics of chance, made possible by a deliberate absence of framing, unpredictable chemistry and flash.”
