Daido Moriyama

Born in 1938, Osaka, Japan. After working as an assistant under photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, Moriyama struck out on his own in 1964. His photographs were continuously featured in photography magazines. From 1968 to 70, he joined the legendry zine named “Provoke.” In the 60s and 70s, Moriyama caused waves in the Japanese photography scene with his high contrasted, coarse grained photographs, the essence of which is best captured in the expression “rough, slur, blur”. He never stopped questioning “What is photography?” and answered this question with the publication of two collections of his work in 1972- “good-bye photograph (Shashin-yo-Sayounara)” and “Hunter (Kariudo)”, both being radical explorations of the topic at hand. However, by publishing both books, Moriyama found that his photography had become too conceptual and slid into a slump. Later on, Moriyama started serializing his work in a new magazine named “generation of photograph (Shashin-jidai, 1980-)” , breaking new ground for his mindset towards photography.

Interview

- Playing with shapes and perceptions: Interview with Yutaka Watanabe
- May. 20, 2013
- [Interview]
- Watanabe is a young painter plays with that human being's perception. Many colorful shapes are floating in his painting. One shape looks like a bird when another looks like an umbrella. He told us that what you will find depends on your own experience.
- Kohei Nawa talked about his studio managent
- Apr. 21, 2013
- [Interview]
- Artist talk titled "Artist studios today" by Kohei Nawa, Yusuke Komuta and Naoki Tomita was held at G-Tokyo. As we may imagine as a typical artist who works lonely in a studio, their styles are not like that. Nawa's studio works as a team to solve problems and respect each abilities to overcome any difficulties. Other two young painters have opened a new space last year and looking for their new way as a creation space.
- Ultimate paper expression :Interview with Yuko Someya
- Apr. 20, 2013
- [Interview]
- At a first glance, it is hard to tell how Yuko Someya's work was created. It may look like a painting but actually a collage of papers cut out or torn. Her work stands out not only for its dynamic structure, but for its details such as hand written patterns and textures of paper. She talked about connections or relations which have been changed since internet came to our life.
- Bringing the power of nature into ceramic: Interview with Takuro Kuwata
- Apr. 07, 2013
- [Interview]
- Takuro Kuwata is a young artist who works in ceramics. He has developed his own style originally starting from traditional techniques. During the interview, he shared his ideas behind joyful colors, forms and materials which distinguish him from traditional ceramic art. His works are powerful and happy. He respects and enjoys the power of nature by bringing its characters directly into his work.
- A place to notice your hidden character : Interview with Kyoko Nagashima at exhibition “THERE”
- Mar. 21, 2013
- [Interview]
- While interviewing Nagashima, one question repeatedly came up in my mind. "Do I really understand my own character?" She told me about her interest toward the subconscious part of human beings. Her work provides a place for viewers to think about who they are.
- Interview with Tomoko Fukushi, “Boarding” at Yamamoto Gendai
- Mar. 19, 2013
- [Interview]
- Tomoko Fukushi's works are drawn on a white board with a black parmanent marker. "Why drawing on a white board?" may be one of the questions the viewers ask themselves. This question is a good point to start a journey through the life of an artist who tried to find her own expression.
