MORIYAMA, Daido - Paris 88/89

Background information

"In 1988 and 1989, without speaking a word of French or know anyone except a fellow fellow countrywoman, the Japanese photographer Daido MORIYAMA lived in Paris with the project a bit crazy to start a gallery apartment.  Above all, the trip was the opportunity to live this dream that made Paris teenager and navigate the world of Eugène ATGET he had discovered a few years later."
