Tokyo-based photographer Haruhiko Kawaguchi physically wraps his subjects and surroundings in plastic sheets, creating direct, unedited images that confront the viewer with an uneasy stillness.
In his series Flesh Love, Kawaguchi literally and methaphorically compresses air and emotion between the subjects and their surroundings into a single layer, as if collapsing the space between love and possession. For Kawaguchi, intimacy is measured by proximity itself and questions how far closeness can go before it becomes indistinguishable from constraint.
