spent over a decade documenting the iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo on large format cameras before it was demolished last month.
“Now that the building has finally disappeared, I’m still absorbing the fact that these photographs depict a place I developed a deep connection with and is no longer possible to visit.”The rooms inside the Nakagin Capsule Tower were tiny. Each capsule measures 2.5 meters by 4 meters with a 1.3 meter diameter window. This created a challenge for Minami who wanted to shoot the project with a 4×5 large format camera.
“The camera’s portability also made it easier to position it inside the tight quarters of the capsules and staircases.”“I believe taking photographs with slide film was critical in capturing the distinct atmosphere of this architecture,” he adds.The capsules were still used as private residences or office spaces right up until its demolition meaning that Minami had to gain permission from the space’s occupier.
“This project would not have been possible without the support of friends I made at this building that helped me form connections with other residents to make the photography possible.”Minami describes his photography as “examining spaces that exist as anachronisms in the landscape that are overlooked for their significance.” The Chicago-based artist researched the history of the building extensively.
