Daido Moriyama - Record 38

In this edition Daido Moriyama muses on the subjects he depicts in his photographs, speculating that they are ultimately rooted in his childhood memories and the various things he saw and experienced in the early 1950s. The myriad images he has captured as a street photographer over the years represent an instant communion with the here and now, yet people often tell him that it is difficult to tell exactly when his photographs were taken. It is perhaps another indicator that highlights this very aspect of his work, and could be interpreted as originating from his memories of landscapes and scenes in post-war Japan. The present is always linked to past and future.
