Daido Moriyama: Journey for Something
Text by Matthias Harder, Erik Kessels.
Daido Moriyama (born 1938) first attracted international attention in the 1970s, with his gritty, black-and-white photographs of Shinjuku, a bustling area of Tokyo. Published for a spring 2012 exhibition at Galerie Alex Daniels–Reflex, Amsterdam, and with more than 230 large-scale images, Journey for Something offers an exciting overview of Moriyama’s new work, as well as his classic images and some never-before-seen photographs that have been carefully selected by the artist for this volume. Many of Moriyama’s photographs are shot with a light, hand-held camera, at times through a window or from across the street, often as if he were a tourist himself. Comprising a wide assortment of playful and almost surrealist images reproduced in large format, Journey for Something follows Moriyama from Tokyo to Osaka, from shimmering rows of nightclubs to shoes dangling from a telephone wire and a man running naked through the streets.
