Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama's radical visions are rediscovered in a new book and gallery show of his influential Shashin Jidai images
The first photo essay in the collection, “Light and Shadow,” was published in the fall of 1981, marking Moriyama’s return to photography. “Much of ‘Light and Shadow’ is Daidō taking photographs of objects around the beach town of Zushi, and Tokyo and its suburbs,” Strettell and Susada write. “This image of the soda bottle was not one we were familiar with, symbolizing modern Japan and the influence of Western culture.
photo essay collected in the book has a quiet, reflective tone. “My photos are not outward messages toward others, nor are they made with the viewer in mind,” Moriyama wrote in 1988. “Ultimately, they are oriented toward myself.” Strettell and Susada describe this chapter as “an introspective set of essays and photographs, exemplified by this interior image of an unmade bed, with a sliver of open curtain.”You are no longer onsite at your organization.
