Daido Moriyama: t-82 - Softcover
In 2006, Powershovel Books initiated a public art event by handing out "toy cameras" to anyone and everyone who would take one, and exhibiting a selection of the resulting photographs. (The "toy camera" in question was a Polga, a hybrid Holga camera that used Polaroid film.) One of the participants was the legendary Japanese street photographer, Daido Moriyama--and it is that series of darkly poetic photographs that this book so lovingly collects, offering a more-tranquil-than-usual walk around Tokyo, with the distinctive details of the urban landscape that only Moriyama could capture. The peculiar photographic qualities of the Polga add a unique taste and some layers of diffused grays to the timeless art of Daido Moriyama.
Daido Moriyama was born near Osaka in 1938. In 1960, he moved to Tokyo to join the eminent photographers` group VIVO, whose members include Shomei Tomatsu. Since then he has collaborated with other prominent Japanese photographers including Eikoh Hosoe and Araki. Retrospectives of his work have appeared at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among other important international venues. He continues to live and work in Tokyo.

Book Description Tapa Blanda. Condition: New. En 2006, Powershovel Books inició un evento de arte público entregando "cámaras de juguete" a todos los que quisieran tomar una y exhibiendo una selección de las fotografías resultantes. (La "cámara de juguete" en cuestión era una Polga, una cámara Holga híbrida que usaba película Polaroid.) Uno de los participantes fue el legendario fotógrafo callejero japonés, Daido Moriyama, y ??es esa serie de fotografías oscuramente poéticas que este libro colecciona amorosamente, ofreciendo un paseo más tranquilo de lo habitual por Tokio, con los detalles distintivos del paisaje urbano que solo Moriyama podría capturar. Las peculiares cualidades fotográficas de la Polga añaden un gusto único y algunas capas de grises difusos al arte atemporal de Daido Moriyama.Daido Moriyama nació cerca de Osaka en 1938. En 1960, se mudó a Tokio para unirse al eminente grupo de fotógrafos VIVO, entre cuyos miembros se encuentra Shomei Tomatsu. Desde entonces, ha colaborado con otros destacados fotógrafos japoneses, incluidos Eikoh Hosoe y Araki. Retrospectivas de su trabajo han aparecido en el Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco, entre otros importantes lugares internacionales. Sigue viviendo y trabajando en Tokio.
