I spent 1 week in Fukuoka with 2 close friends, holidays. My feeling about the Japan I saw is balanced between tradition and modernity.

About Eric Leleu
I have been living in China as a photographer for a few years. My brain is obsessed by concepts such as authority, consumerism, capitalism, geopolitics, sociology or urbanity... In a word, I am interested in our contemporaries (you and I) and the world as it becomes. My focus is the dynamics of public spaces: the interrelationship between the authority, the crowd and the individual. As for my eye, it is looking for colors and intensity.
