Description

Daido Moriyama, a legendary figure in Japanese photography, is to be the subject of a solo exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain from December 2015 to March 2016. Moriyama invented a new visual language in his work from the mid-1960s onwards. Frenetic and tormented, it depicted a reality that was grainy, blurry and out-of-focus. In 2004, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain organized a landmark solo exhibition of Moriyama's black and white work. His lesser-known colour photography will feature in this latest exhibition. Depicting underground neighbourhoods in the Japanese capital - a favorite location for the photographer - these exclusively colour images reference the motifs that are omnipresent in the artist's work, as well as his penchant for textures and shaky compositions.

Critic Reviews

“"Like all of Moriyama's books, this one invites rapid-fire, cinematic immersion. One by one, the pictures are often astounding, bravura displays of Moriyama's mastery of light and composition. In bulk they are dizzying, a high-speed chase, and seemingly tossed off like so many phone pictures."”
