Publisher's Synopsis
Tokyo. Both in hospital rooms and on the neon streets, beautiful young Japanese girls are photographed in plastercasts and bandages, victims of unknown traumas. These are the broken dolls of Romain Slocombe's Tokyo, a city seething with undercurrents of sexual violence and bondage. Not since J G Ballard's 'Crash' have the erotic possibilities of trauma been so vividly and disturbingly exposed. A startling photographic account of a city on the edge.
