Akio Nagasawa Gallery Ginza is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Daido Moriyama, Another Country in New York.
The exhibition title, Another Country in New York, derives from Moriyama’s self-published photobook of the same name, produced in 1974 as part of the Daido Moriyama Printing Show.
The Printing Show was an extremely experimental project for its time. During the event, photographic prints taken by Moriyama during his stay in New York in 1971 were copied, bound on site, and offered for immediate sale—an approach that resembles what we would now call a “zine.” The resulting publication, Another Country in New York, later became known as a “legendary copy book” and remains a unique work in the history of photobooks.
In 2013, Akio Nagasawa Publishing released a reprint edition of the photobook. In 2025, the spirit of the original Printing Show was further developed through a participatory workshop held at a gallery in New York, where visitors copied prints and bound them on site to create their own photobooks.
This exhibition presents original prints from the Another Country in New York series.
On the occasion of the exhibition, Akio Nagasawa Publishing will also offer a new edition of ANOTHER COUNTRY IN NEW YORK. This updated version includes numerous contact sheets that were not included in the original publication.
Through both the exhibition and the photobook, visitors are invited to experience Moriyama’s powerful vision of New York in 1971.
Artist
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.
