Description
Explore the groundbreaking early work of Daido Moriyama, one of Japans most radical photographers, with this collectible, slipcased photobook.
Daido Moriyama (b. 1938) is one of Japans most renowned and prolific photographers. His diverse projects often focus on urban landscapes, exploring light and shadow, and form and abstraction. Using a handheld camera and high-contrast black-and-white film, Moriyama captures Tokyos chaotic streets and clandestine underbelly, revealing the darkness and strangeness beneath the surface.
Daido Moriyama: Quartet is a vital anthology of the four seminal photobooks that form the foundation of Moriyamas career as a photographer: Japan: A Photo Theater, A Hunter, Farewell Photography, and Light and Shadow. Spanning the fifteen years during which he honed his techniques and unveiled his distinctive vision, these photobooks were originally released as limited editions in Japan and represent some of the most daring ventures in photographic publishing history. Edited by Mark Holborn, this compilation includes excerpts from Moriyamas diaries, journals, and memoranda, offering intimate glimpses into the core of his creative process. Presented in a slipcase, this volume is essential for all Moriyama fans and anyone passionate about photography and visual culture.
