Kohei Yoshiyuki’s 1970s cult series of photographs The Park depicts amorous couples in Tokyo's Chuo Park after dark.
Yoshiyuki used an infrared flashlight to illuminate his subjects and the resulting harsh focus and grainy appearance of these works forces the artist and viewer into the unsettling role of voyeur.
