Overview
"Daidō Moriyama redefined the language of photography—blurring the lines between chaos and clarity, memory and moment. Through his grainy, visceral images, he reveals the raw pulse of urban life and the beauty hidden in its imperfection."
Daidō Moriyama (b. 1938) is a pioneering Japanese photographer known for his gritty, high-contrast black-and-white images of urban life. A key figure in the post-war Provoke movement, his work captures the raw, fleeting energy of Tokyo’s streets with a radical, experimental style. Moriyama’s photographs explore themes of memory, isolation, and the collision of tradition and modernity, making him one of the most influential voices in contemporary photography.
