"Daido Moriyama"
2000-08-05 until 2000-10-29
Fogg Museum, Harvard
Cambridge, MA, USA

Moriyama’s photographs detail the streets of Japan’s major cities; among his city images are those shot in underlit bars, clubs, streets and alleyways where the subject’s movement creates a blurred suggestion of form rather than a distinct figure. Following its presentation at the Fogg Art Museum, the exhibition will travel to other North American and European venues.

Organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition explores the work of Moriyama, an important Japanese photographer and features nearly two hundred black-and-white images and a major Polaroid piece that together examine the relationship of postwar Japanese society to Western, and in particular to American, influences.
