From Anna Sui to Vivienne Westwood, the cramped spaces filled with big brands are a testimony to the paradox of consumer culture.Ī photo book was produced after the series was completed the 85 images are gathered together, and the subjects of each image are accorded space to explain the motivations for their compulsive consumption. Each of the 30 fashion victims shot by Kyoichi Tsuzuki has their own individual obsession. Treating editorial subjects with a touch of humour, the series Happy Victims (1999-2004) sees Kyoichi Tsuzuki capture portraits of individuals in their bedrooms, surrounded by piles and piles of clothes and accessories. Honing in on the small specificities that might otherwise go unnoticed, Kyoichi Tsuzuki captures and reflects on the reality of living conditions in Japan today. Born in Tokyo in 1956, he is both a distinguished journalist and an institutionally recognised photographer.
