MORIYAMA, Daido - Journey for Something

Background information

"Daido MORIYAMA first attracted international attention in the 1970s, with his gritty, black-and-white photographs of Shinjuku, a bustling area of Tokyo. Many of Daido MORIYAMA's photographs are shot with a light, hand-held camera, at times through a window or from across the street, often as if he were a tourist himself. A wide assortment of playful and almost surrealist images, 'Journey for Something' follows Daido MORIYAMA from Tokyo to Osaka, from shimmering rows of nightclubs to shoes dangling from a telephone wire and a man running naked through the streets."
