Naoya Hatakeyama — Underground #6205
Naoya Hatakeyama

Underground #6205

A luminous chromogenic print by Naoya Hatakeyama that plunges the viewer into the subterranean world of Tokyo's underground water and drainage systems, capturing the eerie, almost otherworldly beauty of tunnels bathed in artificial light. The image transforms industrial infrastructure into a meditative space, with reflections shimmering across flooded passages and geometric forms receding into darkness. Hatakeyama's meticulous photographic eye elevates the hidden architectural underbelly of the city into something both sublime and quietly unsettling.

Chromogenic print, mounted.
