"Despite the book’s title, the cover ironically depicted a hyper-lucid night shot of a guardrail lit by a lone street lamp. The book made him an instant sensation in Tokyo art circles, prompting further publications and numerous exhibitions across Japan and Europe. It’s often hard for the viewer to pinpoint exactly what Imai was aiming for after witnessing his nonstop outpouring of more desolate and deserted urban landscapes and nature this last decade. But one thing he does consistently manage to convey in these photos, is what could best be described as an invisible, yet almost palpable sense of energy that is projected from the void inside his photos."
