Amy Sioux's latest book, Tokyo 35ºN, is a poetic account of the Japanese capital. It's inspired, in part, by radical French philosopher Guy Debord's theory of the dérive, a way of moving through the city that puts emotion and chance at the forefront of the way we explore our environment. For Tokyo 35ºN, Ami asked 50 friends to draw her a map of Tokyo that would lead her to a place that was important to them. She would travel there and shoot what she found: cherry blossoms, sure, bustling skyscrapers and reposeful shrines, but also skateparks and shops, restaurants and cafes, quiet residential streets and snatches of moments on public transport.
