Salt and soot
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.”

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.
Land of shadows
Light is to a photographer the substance that gives shape to the world.”
