Photo book provocation

Words are clear and empty.

?

To the extreme, I don't have and don't want to have interpersonal relationships. For me, the most important thing is to have a quiet and daze time, that's all. Then, I feel a little joy in the small and safe shopping behavior of fresh food market and convenience store, so I don't think much and live alone and forgetfully.

Daido Moriyama

How to introduce him? Is it true that his composition is messy?

Is it possible to say that his black, white and gray color is rough,

Gao Fancha, is it true that his works are out of focus because of the camera shaking?

Or just that he is a great photographer recognized by the world.

Or just that he used to be the "provocative" standard bearer of Japan Pioneer Photography Group;

However, these seem to be boring and pale.

I can only say that I read intense black and white in his works.

I can only say that I can understand the loneliness in his words.

That deep loneliness is like maggots attached to bones,

But the pictures he took were real and slightly depressing, but they were unforgettable.

?

There is a shadow of death in that picture, which suppresses the suffocating sex.

Daido Moriyama 1938 was born in Osaka and is a Japanese photographer.

Together with Snyder, Nobuyoshi Araki and others, they rose in the 1960s and 1970s.

From 65438 to 0999, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art held a large-scale retrospective exhibition entitled "Wandering Dogs" for him, and exhibited it in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the Japan Association Gallery, Switzerland, Germany and other places.

He is the first Japanese artist to hold a comprehensive retrospective exhibition in a first-class art museum in the United States.

In 2003, the French Cartier Foundation held a large-scale personal retrospective exhibition for Daido Moriyama in Paris, which once again set off the "Daido Moriyama fever" in the West.

In 2004, one of the four complete works of Daido Moriyama was published, including more than 500 pieces of his works/kloc-0.

When discussing the relationship between eroticism and photography,

Moriyama said: "Everything I see in my eyes is actually pornographic.

Photography, as a tool to reflect what you see in front of you, is itself a kind of pornography. "

His creation is full of sensibility, and poetic sadness is hidden in the camera language.

In fact, he used the lens and words to express the world in his heart.

Whether it is good or bad, he does not whitewash the goodness, evil, beauty and ugliness of this world.

As a teenager, Daido Moriyama studied design and dropped out of school.

When I was in my twenties, I worked as an assistant to famous photographers, such as Hideyoshi, the best post-war photographer.

Once down and out, once working for his own woman to make a living,

At that time, he was holding 300 yen and several rice balls every day.

Wandering in the streets of Yokosuga and taking photos, I took a world-famous black-and-white photo with strong contrast;

1964, a magazine finally used his photo.

26-year-old Moriyama opened a photography exhibition, which is regarded as making his mark in photography.

1968 published the first photo album Portrait of Japanese Theater. 1969 founded the magazine "provoke provocation" with Tadao Zhong Ping (a photographer and critic of the same age, who became famous a little later than Moriyama, and co-founded a photography office in 66), which established his personal style and had a great influence. After the 1970s, Moriyama's photography fell into a period of consolidation. In 74, he founded a photography school with Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, Araki David, Shomei Tomatsu, Shen Sui Changjiu and Yokosuga Gongguang (dissolved two years later), during which he traveled abroad. 1982 The exhibition "Light and Shadow" was once again a great success with a solid personal style. It began to continue in Japan and overseas, and became a recognized photographer after 1990s.

I read a book about him, street shooting, my faith.

All those streets, big and small, have his past, and he was once down and out.

But at that time, he didn't succeed, and in extreme desire and despair,

Hold on. I can see that his writing is gloomy, cold and beautiful.

Those days of wandering in Tokyo, Shinjuku and Shibuya are indelible in his memory.

Those images with strong stinging and nothingness linger.

How many disappointments in life can make Moriyama really face the world and himself with camera language.

?

Daido Moriyama's pictures are of ordinary people, human disqualification and even sex.

In his own words, there is a kind of "sexual excitement" in his street shooting.

His photography equates with sex.

He has been to Shanghai for three days and photographed the most fleeting and broken beauty.

Tokyo, Hokkaido, new york, Hawaii, Buenos Aires and Shanghai are different from these places.

During his three days roaming the streets of Shanghai, he published a picture book, which recorded all his memories of Shanghai.

As he said:

When I was a teenager, before I had the opportunity to visit China, the name Shanghai was associated with charming images, full of romantic spirit and exotic atmosphere, and even mixed with erotic excitement.

Shanghai was occupied by Japan in 1937, which was the year before I was born. With the establishment of Japanese jurisdiction, the city seems to be all Japanese. Different from the grim state of confrontation between China and Japan, Shanghai, as an international port, has also brought a gradually better image to Japan. Shanghai is a city full of drama, romance, exoticism and vitality.

In my generation, I entered adolescence after the war, so I couldn't understand the truth at that time. From the pop songs and various media of that era, we can only accept an imaginary Shanghai. For example, songs such as Shanghai Dream and Shanghai Fog can only arouse an unpredictable depression. After all, the Japanese emotional memory of the past years is only a short-lived victory, which may only represent an imaginary homesickness for Shanghai.

However, for me, my dream when I was young was to be a sailor, and the imaginary Shanghai Port stayed in my heart for a long time. Even today, my spiritual journey is roaming on the grand "Shanghai Navigation Line". Perhaps this in itself is the end of a kind of homesickness. So Shanghai has always been an imaginative metropolis in my heart.

Rebellious photography, sharp angle, roughness and barbarism, confusion and panic,

The gloom and depression in Moriyama's own character can be directly expressed.

He is like his own work, black and white.

He has been living in what he calls an "alien world",

It seems to be isolated from the world in a peaceful way.

No hostility, no conflict, in fact, he is just lonely,

Such as loneliness in the abyss and some sad thoughts,

Made his black and white underworld and the street of desire.

Street shooting is one of his beliefs.

Born late in another era, it is estimated that he will become the first photographer to take pictures with his mobile phone.
