Daido Moriyama Photo Collection (3): Farewell Photography

Moriyama, who joined Provogue Vol. Fragmentary images such as film cuts, fallen negatives, posters, and TV copies flood in like a flood. It's a work with a dreadfulness that seems to express the world in which everything is reduced to images as it is in the photograph, and it is understandable that it fell into a slump for the next 10 years. At the end of the book, a dialogue with his ally and rival, Takuma Nakahira, is recorded, which is also an important dialogue.

This book is the third volume of the "Daido Moriyama Photo Collection", a series in which Satoru Machiguchi is invited as a designer, printing and clothing are renewed, and the photographer himself participates in the direction of reviving out-of-print works. This is the definitive edition series that recreates early masterpieces with the same image size as the first edition, is reborn with triple-tone printing, and includes the full text of a conversation with Takuma Nakahira.
