"Daido Moriyama's retrospective at Kyotographie features more than 200 images, 400 magazines, and 100 books, showcasing the depth of his prolific career and unique photographic style."
"Moriyama's work, characterized by the are-bure-boke style, moves away from traditional social documentary photography, focusing instead on expression and the emotional landscape of Japan's transitional period."
"In 1969, Moriyama created a series for Asahi Camera magazine that critically examined news media, including a poignant reflection on the assassination of Robert Kennedy through innovative photographic techniques."
Kyotographie, Japan's leading international photography festival, has been held annually since 2013, with this year's theme being 'Edge'. The festival features 14 exhibitions, including a major retrospective of Daido Moriyama, showcasing over 200 images and various publications. Moriyama, a pivotal figure in postwar photography, is known for his are-bure-boke style, which emphasizes rough and blurred images. His work reflects Japan's cultural transition in the 1960s, capturing political unrest and popular culture through a deeply expressive lens.
