Japanese Peeping Tom Photography by Kohei Yoshiyuke

The New York Times recently had an interesting feature about a Japanese photographer named Kohei Yoshiyuke who documented the voyeur/exhibitionist practices of couples who would have sex in public parks with full knowledge of the ‘peeping toms’ who would come to look at them and sometimes join in. The photos are not erotic but fascinating, kind of like a group sex version of Weegee. His stuff is exhibited currently at the Yossi Milo gallery in New York so if you’re in that neck of the woods, I’d recommend it.

The Park is a series of photographs, taken in the 1970’s, in three Tokyo parks (Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama), where people gathered for furtive sexual encounters, both heterosexual and homosexual, and where spectators gathered in the darkness to watch and join.
