Walking with Daidō

“I think that the everyday has many slits in its landscape, of which over on the other side, there is another world.”
— Daidō Moriyama

Gallery

While reading “Memories of a dog”, I imagined myself as a japanese Kerouac, on the road with Daidō. We were trying to get lost in space-time, in search of this state where, deprived of our usual landmarks, we would come to confuse past, present, memory and imagination. Daidō was not nostalgic. He was not looking for a memorable image, but for the image of memory itself.

A life’s work

“Photography is a way of learning to read your culture.” — Joel Meyerowitz

It started to dawn on me that everything I had photographed up until that point was just some sort of preparation to provide me with the insight to make those pictures. And that was my life’s work.”

Christopher Anderson, Magnum photographer and New York Times contributor
