Background information, content
"Through the black-and-white images of experimental Japanese photographer Eikoh HOSOE, ‘Simmon: A Private Landscape’ follows the bizarre and suggestive transvestite character Simmon through a multitude of urban, natural and social settings in Japan, intimately recording his playful antics, introverted loneliness and stigmatization by those who encounter him.
Irreverent and irrational, the photographic series is a touching journey with deep psychological implications." (© Akio Nagasawa, 2012)
