Summer of Love
Emmanuel Guillaud
UNTIL THE SUN RISES
About loneliness in Tokyo, about men who wander through parking lots and and school yards: public places which by night change into a temporary ghetto. They hope for chance encounters, are 'in search of a kick without obligations', or actually of intimacy. When the sun comes up they leave again, preferring to forget what has happened. The installation Until the sun rises is being shown for the first time by Noorderlicht.
