DAIDO MORIYAMA

Moriyama became intricately associated with the revolutionary Japanese Provoke movement in the 1960s. This avant-garde collective sought to push the boundaries of conventional photography, challenging societal norms and aesthetic conventions. Moriyama’s oeuvre mirrors this spirit, offering a visceral encounter with the urban tapestry, capturing both the mundane and the mysterious in exquisite, high-contrast monochrome. Whether through captivating close-ups of ordinary objects or candid snapshots of urban denizens, Moriyama unearths the profound within the quotidian, revealing the duality of existence in the modern metropolis.

Moriyama’s work has been widely exhibited and collected by prominent public institute, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Getty Museum, Los Angeles, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and The Centre Pompidou, Paris.
