"For All 'Todays'" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Mark Power, Russian photographer Georgi Pinkasov, and Belgian photographer Harry Glière. These three photographers, all affiliated with Magnum Photos, were commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation to photograph the Toei Transportation system. The book includes images ranging from behind the scenes of urban infrastructure that are usually hidden from view, such as train depots, maintenance workshops, station spaces, and scenery along the railway lines, to everyday scenes of people going about their daily lives. Mark Power, who has long observed the structure of society and cities; Georgi Pinkasov, who captures moments created by light and chance; and Harry Glière, known for his colorful urban landscapes, each have their own distinct perspective that brings to light the vast metropolis of Tokyo. This book is less a photobook documenting transportation itself and more a collection of works that look at the activities of the people who support it and the rhythm of the city. It is a special book produced in conjunction with an exhibition, and beyond a record of transportation, it is underpinned by a gaze upon the city of Tokyo and the people who live there. Pinkasov said of Tokyo, "I feel that the people who live here are not competing, but rather everyone is setting high standards and challenging themselves."
