DAIDO MORIYAMA: Mizu no Yume (Memories)

Daido Moriyama’s Mizu No Yume’s signed first edition envelopes unique black and white photographs of landscapes and people’s lives. “My underlying thought was to show how in the most common and everyday, in the world of the most normal people, in their most normal existence, there is something dramatic.”, artist’s words. The photographs are taken between 1968 and 1997 with scenes of industrial nocturnal city landscapes. The water has an essential role in most of the photos, contrasting the raw sceneries. Moriyama’s trademark style in photography is inevitably visible in this edition published in 1999.
