100x450 - 39 - use the truth as you will
In stereotypes there is some truth. It may be an almost-nothing truth, or a complete truth, truth that suffocates with its veracity like a pillow held over the face of a crying baby. Here we have a young Japanese man and woman with one camera and they are taking turns telling each other to pose a certain way and they hand it off to each other, back and forth, and it is all a game, they are laughing and smiling and they are ghosts, beautiful ghosts. So there is your truth, there is your stereotype, use it as you will.
