DAIDO MORIYAMA: ON THE ROAD
2011-07-11This exhibition traces the trajectory of Moriyama Daido’s career as a photographer from his debut in photography magazines in 1965 to the present, based primarily on developments over about a dozen of his photobooks.
While the subject of Moriyama’s photographs is almost always fragments of daily life that he discovers on the street, his works violently jolt the viewer, and have helped expand the concept of photography. They are also imbued with a power that inspires us to reexamine the essence of photography.
Among the over 400 works on display will be some new, and for Moriyama, rare color photographs that deal with the theme of Tokyo.
