beneath japan

[Paul Clerkin]

A enormous underground tunnel that runs through 40metres under the Hibiya Junction Tokyo or an underground dome that lies 500metres below deep in the mountains of Gunma…? In Japan unimaginably large spaces underneath our ground level lives exist. Even beyond the high walls of nuclear power stations, incineration plants or energy research organizations futuristic cities that we thought only to exist in science fiction movies unfold - not far from your neighbourhood. I talked to Joe Nishizawa who photographed such hyper-surreal dimensions in Japan and just published a book Deep Inside.

AMAZING!
we always watch those sci fi flicks andf think 'nah it'll never be like that'......i guess in asia they dont think that:)
i'm always fascinated with asia and the mammoth scale of what goes on over there, china especially.
