Kido Mafon » IFUCKTOKYO - DUAL MAIN CHARACTER

Tokyo is an energetic, chaotic, and vibrant city that never sleeps. But at the same time, it can drag you into a hole, where everyone is constantly in the endless cycle of the unconscious quest to become someone, to find meaning in their existence, and to affirm in relation to others.

IFUCKTOKYO emerges from this sensation, disciplined by society but with a rebellious spirit within.

Photographer Kido Mafon captures scenes of the city’s frenetic nightlife and youth culture, shooting on film with a Contax G1. From club kids with layered, multicoloured hair to new-wave tech-blokecore j-rappers and rabid Tokyo Vitamin fans, Mafon navigates the city after dark to document the most feverish club nights.

This series contrasts the conflicting duality within a person, highlighting the city’s party scenes as a symbol in which the free spirited people abandon themselves and the other true character of a person appears, which is more vibrant than ever.
