Hunter of Light: 1965-2003 - Daido Moriyama - 1st Edition, Shimane Art, 2003

About the Item

First edition, published by Shimane Art Museum, Japan, 2003. Published to accompany the retrospective exhibition of the same name and drawing together some of the most important images of Moriyama’s prolific career. The high contrast, grainy black and white aesthetic Daido Moriyama is known for, accentuates the eerie, gritty subject matters and unexplainable situations, creating a disorientating blur between documentary and fine art photography. Paperback in publisher’s French flaps. Around 320 pages, text in Japanese and English, heavily illustrated in black and white throughout. Original exhibition invite loosely inserted at back.

  • '71 - NY - Daido Moriyama – Signed 1st Edition, PPP, 2002
    By Daido Moriyama 1
    Located in London, GB
    First edition, limited to 3000 copies, published by PPP Editions, New York, 2002. Signed by Daido Moriyama at title page. “In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot 100 rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding 70 images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here.” With hundreds of high quality black and white reproductions on heavy paper, and signed by Daido Moriyama at the title page, this classic photobook is immediately recognisable as Moriyama’s work, with his high-contrast, grainy and seemingly fleeting style. Including an interview with Moriyama, an essay by art writer and curator Neville Wakefield, and an appropriately chosen exact from James Baldwin’s Another Country, this is an involving record of Moriyama’s trip to a changing New York seen...
