Daido Moriyama: Remix

Originally published in Paris in 2004 and then again in this second edition from 2012 this comprehensive collection from throughout his career is a "remix" of Moriyama's work of several decades. As critic Patrick Remy notes in his introduction, "He endlessly plunges into his contact prints, tirelessly reprints his images, re-centers them, prints them horizontally or vertically to achieve the desired format at the time... enough to make you lose yourself in the maelstrom of his photos (his complete works list 5,758 references)." Close-ups of red, red lips and meticulously manicured hands (except for a bandage on the index finger--what happened?), snowy cityscapes, lonely hotel rooms, storefronts, beautiful women and a pig--no subject escapes him. Like Atget, whom he admires, Moriyama freezes urban evanescence, and like Hosoe, whom he assisted, he uncovers the intimate."
