Aurélien Aumond captures the stillness of Tokyo after dark

 

The architectural photography project Tokyo After Dark: A Silent Symphony of Light by Aurélien Aumond captures the quiet, nocturnal beauty of the city, defined by the interplay of light, shadow, and architecture. Armed with just an iPhone, Aumond explores the stillness of urban streets, transforming everyday scenes into moments of visual contemplation. His images focus on the serene glow of Tokyo buildings, where muted tones and chromatic lights reshape the familiar into something introspective, revealing a poetic stillness in contrast to the usual bustling scenes. The series emerges from spontaneous wanderings through empty streets, where the night subtly transforms the architectural forms and the city’s atmosphere after the sun sets.

Traveling alone, inspired by the soundscapes of the Exai album by the English electronic music duo Autechre, Aurélien Aumond’s photography series reflects a personal journey of solitude and discovery. His images resonate with the sense of freedom and introspection he experienced, offering a meditative look at the urban environment, where the ordinary takes on a new, tranquil beauty. ‘Each photo captures a suspended moment, an ordinary scene transformed by the magic of the night. The architecture, the multicolored lights illuminating anonymous facades, and the places imbued with a hypnotic serenity,’ notes the French photographer. Far from the typical tourist images, this series invites viewers to engage with the quieter, hidden side of Tokyo and Kyoto, capturing the essence of these cities at rest and offering an unexpected perspective on their architecture.
