September 8, 2007 – October 2, 2007

Daido Moriyama (b 1938) is one of the foremost proxies of the dominant tradition within Japanese photography of the postwar era - subjective documentary photography.

Moriyama’s works reflect the postwar clashes betwen Japanese and western culture, and the break with traditional values, further enhanced by his photo appropriations of popular media, erotic scenes and consumer fetishism (Japan: A Photo Theatre, 1968). His photographs are characterized by their strong black and white contrasts, grainy and blured qualities, unusual angles and compositional cropping.
