Blackened Last Four Days & Nights in Tokyo

“The most recent works have featured highly manipulated versions of the original images, re-photographed and re-assembled into large series. As Crosher has moved through the project, her investigations have resulted in increasingly pronounced interventions leading to the near-disappearance or even total obfuscation of the original source material…In the Last Four Days and Nights of Tokyo, prints made from badly damaged negatives depicting duBois posing in an anonymous Japanese love hotel room draw the viewer unusually close before revealing their subject matter.”
