Exhibition overview

Using a small hand-held camera, Daido Moriyama shoots his pictures whenever the mood strikes him, while running, or while in a moving car. Grainy, blurred, and canted, the images seem to have been taken on the run, almost clandestinely, just before the photographer flees from the scene. 
His fascination for the strange, the unusual, and the extraordinary, details the unsettling aspects of the streets and alleyways of Japan’s major cities. For Moriyama, more than anything else, the world is a world of images and of representations; these copies of reality, in fact, constitute reality.
