404 not found Issue 02

This zine is the second issue of Yusuke Nagata’s annual project "404 not found." It features night scene photography shot in Tokyo and Taipei, with many of the photos taken over the past year.

The zine captures striking moments such as overdosed youth, pole dancers, the homeless, a former yakuza leader, and various club scenes, all of which convey the humid atmosphere of Asia.

All the photos were scanned from darkroom prints made by Yusuke himself, with the characteristic sloppy borders that come from darkroom printing.


*The first edition of 100 copies has sold out. However, due to requests for a restock, I’ve added 50 more copies. These are truly the final ones!
