The 6th FotoBookFestival pays homage to Daido Moriyama's book opus through numerous programme items and `events.
Daido Moriyama is one of the most important living photographers and
photobook makers of current times. His career began during the sixties
in Tokyo, where he became a member of the influential Provoke group that
created the most important style of Japanese post-war avant-garde
photography. His oeuvre plays a central part in the establishment of
Japanese photography as one of the important creative developments in
the history of photography. In more than 50 years, Moriyama gained fame
through his coarse, contrast-rich, partly unfocussed and highly grainy
black-and-white photography, in which he deals which urban experiences,
especially around the streets of Tokyo. His immense influence on young
Japanese artists continues to date. Apart from B+W photography, Moriyama
works with color, Polaroid’s, screen-printing, film, texts and
installation. His fame is predominantly due to the more than 150
photobooks that he has continuously published, including masterpieces
like Japan, A Photo Theatre (1968), Farewell Photography (1972), Light & Shadow (1982) and Shinjuku (2002).
During three action packed days there will be lectures and presentations from Gerry Badger, Remi Coignet, Gosta Flemming, Aron Morel, Ferdinand Bruggemann, Yasunori Hoki, Simon Baker, John Gossage and much more. Plus the Photobook Dummy Award.
