Quartet explores Daido Moriyama’s early career through four foundational photobooks that highlight his place as one of Japan’s most radical photographers: Japan: A Photo Theater; A Hunter; Farewell Photography; and Light and Shadow.
Rooted in the complexities of Japan during a transformative era from 1968 to the early 1980s, these seminal photobooks not only offer profound insights into the nation’s evolving cultural, economic and social landscape, but also trace the emergence and development of Moriyama’s distinct style.
