Artist’s Book Lets You Feel the Frustration of City Life

Tokyo Compression by photographer Michael Wolf is a book of photos that feature commuters crammed in the Tokyo subway. The book reflects the sweaty and uncomfortable reality of the daily grind of city life. A description on Wolf’s site describes it, “… The images create a sense of discomfort as his victims attempt to squirm out of view or simply close their eyes, wishing the photographer to go away. Tokyo Compression depicts an urban hell and by hunting down these commuters with his camera, Wolf highlights their complete vulnerability to the city at its most extreme.” Check them out and see if you don’t empathize with city living.
