Synopsis
The most recent projects by Daido Moriyama, one of the leading figures in contemporary Japanese photography along with Nobuyoshi Araki, Yasumasa Morimura, and Shomei Tomatsu. Considered one of the great masters of contemporary Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama is always on the road, a lone traveler whose black-and-white images recount visions and worlds hidden just beneath the surface of reality.
This book contains 250 photographs taken over the last five years. A constant flow of images that is often frenetic or suddenly suspended, following the rhythm of an unfettered, restless life spent traveling the roads of the world.
Synopsis
This book presents for the first time over 250 color photographs taken by Daido Moriyama between 1960 and 1970: a constant flow of images often frenetic or suddenly suspended, following the rhythm of a restless life spent traveling the streets of the world.
Among the major protagonists of contemporary photography, Daido Moriyama was born in Osaka in 1938, lives and works in Tokyo. Photographer on the road, free spirit and solitary traveler, tells in his shots suspended fragments of the world, moments cut into the continuous flow of experience. His work recomposes an omnivorous universe of subjects, reality and sensations, which follows the same rhythm of a life without ties, certainly restless, lived on the roads of the world.
His work was presented at the Tate Modern in London, at SFMOMA in San Francisco, at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, at the Fotomuseum in Winterthur, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vigo, Spain.
