TTP is a series of photographs made by Hayahisa Tomiyasu from the window of his
former student apartment in the German city of Leipzig. From his south-facing
view we see a 'tischtennisplatte' or ping pong table used for a plethora of
purposes – including a sun bed, a laundry counter, a kids' climbing frame, an
exercise site, a family lunch spot, a refuge from busy streets, among various
other uses – except from table tennis. Tomiyasu spent five years documenting the
humble table and thanks to his sustained curiosity we observe the idiosyncrasies
of human behaviour and social habits, as seasons change, scenes mutate and
people come and go.
