Daido Moriyama is, to a great extent, an artist both incomprehensible and misunderstood. Moriyama has been at the forefront of the medium for more than fifty years, creating his signature experimental photographs of Japan in the post–World War II period. Now, a major exhibition in São Paulo celebrates the process behind the Japanese photographer’s trailblazing work. In a review on Aperture, Daigo Oliva writes on why Moriyama’s radical vision is misunderstood: “Although it is seductive to view Moriyama’s dark and grainy pictures as a mirror of the American occupation of his country, his true interest lies in dissecting images down to their essence.” See our link in bio to read the full review.
