Daido’s photo memoir
Photos are the traces of lighting and of memory; a memory with histories in a lighting of myth. That is how the Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama has been approaching his subjects and redefining the language of photography since last century. He is one of the most important artists in Japan since 1945 with his grainy, out of focus and high-contrast style photos that give an intense sensation to each photo while preserving its poetic composition. In October, London’s Tate Modern museum organized an unusual exhibition entitled “William Klein / Daido Moriyama” showcasing the photo masters of the streets, of people, of New York and of Tokyo, from two very different worlds. If you haven’t heard of Moriyama, you have the chance to discover his work in three part series now in Paris until January 12th, 2013. To learn more about him, check out the master’s official site here to emerge in his high-contrast intensities.
