Kohei Yoshiyuki’s project, The Park, created in the 1970’s, will have it’s West Coast premiere at the M+B Gallery in Los Angeles, running from March 13-April 24th. As someone who lived in New York for many years, the idea of sex in a public park is not a new one. These images pack a powerful punch and Martin Parr put it best when he stated: “The Park is a brilliant piece of social documentation, capturing perfectly the loneliness, sadness and desperation that so often accompany sexual or human relationships in a big, hard metropolis like Tokyo.”
