Julien Levy – « No One Is Here For You »

"Julien Levy, a young French artist living in Japan, explores the night full of mystery and encounters. His photographic wanderings take us to the heart of the enigmatic Empire of the Rising Sun, along dark streets and tall towers. The gigantism mixes with traditions, the old lantern-lit alleys are irrigated with multicolored neon lights. These photos of shimmering atmospheres are suddenly inhabited by melancholic and sometimes strange faces. A poetry that does not leave indifferent and for my part, I find there this delicacy which touches me, led by a technical mastery absolutely remarkable."
Jean-François Camp
