Daido Moriyama: Record 2

The direct sequel to a classic photobook: an exceptional selection of photographs from Daido Moriyama's seminal magazine publication from 2017 to today

The direct sequel to the classic Daido Moriyama – Record, this volume presents an exceptional selection of photographs from Daido Moriyama’s seminal magazine publication Record, from issues 31 to 50 and spanning 2017 to the present. Now in his 80s, and not the relentless traveller he once was, Moriyama is in a more contemplative and philosophical location in this compilation – one where he reviews his life and the work that, rightly, made him a leading Japanese artist of his generation. But, despite his advancing years, his work remains unmistakably of the Moriyama aesthetic – fiercely contrasted images with fragmentary, intensely composed frames that express the vision of one of the greatest photographers.
