Daido Moriyama: A Diary
Moriyama’s images embrace a highly subjective but authentic approach. Reflecting a harsh vision of city life and its chaos of everyday existence and unusual characters, his work occupies a unique space between the illusory and the real.
Moriyama became the most prominent artist to emerge from the short-lived yet profoundly influential Provoke movement, which played an important role in liberating photography from tradition and interrogating the very nature of the medium. His bold, uncompromising style has helped engender widespread recognition of Japanese photography within an international context.
The photographs in this exhibition stems from nearly fifty years of image creation, which cannot be read chronologically or in thematic groupings.
The exhibition presented in Foto Colectania is a journey through the work of this author that has influenced subsequent generations of photographers from around the world. A Diary is a room full of numerous layers of a real life: Daido Moriyama's life is his images.
