Description

ポストモダ, pronounced POSUTOMODAN, is the japanese term to name the postmodernist movement. It is also the name of this book, a personal research I made between 2018 and 2019, while I was still living in Taipei. It includes a record of walks in search for postmodern buildings from Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka, as well as a collection of japanese songs produced during the same period.

It is said that buildings in Japan have a lifespan of about 30 years, after which they usually get demolished. Because most of them were built three decades ago already, postmodernist buildings in the country are slowly reaching their expiration date.

For this reason, I wanted to go and see by myself what these projects look like before they get destroyed or transformed. I also wanted to immerge myself in a period I only knew through images from magazines and songs from Youtube.

Soon, what started as a simple inventory became a voyage into Japan’s late eighties and early nineties, when the country was economically booming and full of optimism, right before the asset price bubble burst and what would later be called the “lost decade”.
