In 1988, Japanese actor Yuichi Hibi moved to New York City, knowing very little English. As an import he found himself to be a natural outsider to the culture he was trying to become a part of. He began making photographs and within that work he evoked a sense of longing and isolation and understanding of things that often are overlooked. In 2001, he directed a documentary on photographer Robert Frank, "A Weekend with Mr. Frank", this being the companion book released as part of the Nazraeli Press's One Picture Book series.
