Tsukiji, Allan Sekula

Allan Sekula is an American artist. His principal medium is photography, his secondary medium is the written word, employing essays and other critical texts in concert with images to create a multi-level critique of contemporary late capitalism. His works make critical contributions on questions of social reality and globalization, and focus on what he describes as “the imaginary and material geographies of the advanced capitalist world”. This video from 2001 shows an excerpt of a 43minutes-long film featuring the world’s largest fish market, Tsukiji in Tokyo.
