Daido Moriyama
Understanding “a photograph as a copy of reality,” Moriyama has been actively engaging in the replication of his works by all kinds of techniques and media, which in parallel to gelatin silver prints also includes offset printed photo books and silkscreen printed T-shirts. This exhibition focuses not on his gelatin silver prints, but introduces silkscreen printed items.
Moriyama claims that the tension between the “image” and its “replication” is similar to the tension that arises between the “act of photographing” and the “intent in the moment of shooting.” For this exhibition he selected images intended to cause “visual scandals” mainly from the “Accident” series made in the late 1960s, and transferred them by way of silkscreen onto paper or canvas – many of them being printed and published for the first time. As mentioned above, Moriyama is open to various techniques when it comes to turning the images he photographed into objects. Silkscreen printing is a familiar technique that Moriyama has been employing since 1969, and was therefore chosen as an appropriate method for transferring Moriyama’s selection of “visually scandalous” images. What makes this exhibition particularly worth visiting is the fact that text works in the form of Moriyama-designed neon tubes will be on display as separate elements in addition to the silkscreen items.
