The Clash of DreamsAn exploration of Tokyo by Marie Laigneau

Copyright Marie Laigneau

This photography book explores Tokyo through the lens of the dream, showing the

modern and sensual city in a different light – not for what it is, but what it could be.

In these images, human and city elements seem to intertwine themselves,

becoming new patterns, new canvases, new stories. Delicate shapes of being seem

to contrast and startle the ever-growing city, in the mist of its urban tentacles. From

this clash of urban and human elements emerges a new city: not simply made of

concrete, but reflecting our essence as human beings – a city shaped by

our hopes, our fears, and our dreams.
