893 Magazine - The Yakuza in Tokyo
“In 2009 I started to tell a story in images, video and words about the hidden world of Japanese crime families:
the Yakuza.
Together with my brother Malik, I chose, contacted, and met with the family that controls the heart of Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo.
This is my vision of an inaccessible subculture which I will never fully understand.

An Issue of 893 Magazine will be published every 6 months, up until this long term project is completed.
At the end of the project, a photo book will be published, as well as a documentary feature film, both for which I am seeking to secure funding.”
