I discovered several dozen polaroid photos the other day that I had totally forgotten about, in the lowermost drawer of my locker at my workplace. They are images that I was assigned to shoot some years back, and that were put away once they had served their purpose. And now, all of a sudden, they were excavated and once again exposed to the sunlight.
Having turned into undefined fragmentary images in pale, indistinct shades of sepia, the photographs stunned me as I looked at them. Over the enormous time that had passed, they had degenerated more and more, and what remained were mere ruins of images, faint traces of a “time” that was already separated from the person who shot these photographs. They had transformed into something that was in another dimension altogether, and that seemed to be shouting out at me: “Look at us, and know all the candid details!”
What is to see there are perhaps tokens of the immeasurable time that connects all human beings, and of the way we direct our “memory of the retina” toward the sky.

Daido MORIYAMA

森山大道

Born 1938 in Osaka. After working as an assistant for photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent in 1964. He has been publishing his works in photography magazines among others, and received a New Artist Award from the Japan Photo Critics Association for Japan: A Photo Theater in 1967. Between 1968 and ’70 he was involved in the photo fanzine Provoke, and his style of grainy, high-contrast images that came to be referred to as “are, bure, boke” (grainy, blurry, out-of-focus) made an impact on the realm of photography. Solo shows at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris solidified Moriyama’s worldwide reputation, and in 2012, he became the first Japanese to be awarded in the category of Lifetime Achievement at the 28th Annual Infinity Awards hosted by the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. The “William Klein + Daido Moriyama” exhibition together with William Klein at London’s Tate Modern in 2012-13 was a showdown of two immensely popular photographers that took the world by storm.
