While attending school in Leipzig, Germany photographer Hayahisa Tomiyasu started documenting the life and times of an outdoor ping pong table that he could see directly from his dorm room.

The series, entitled TTP, was shot over a period of 5 years between 2012 and 2016. It’s interesting to see how different cultures, families and groups used the table in varying ways. You can find more works from Tomiyasu on his website.
