Daido Moriyama: Quartet gathers four formative photobooks – Japan: A Photo Theater, A Hunter, Farewell Photography and Light and Shadow – that defined the artist’s radical vision between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Edited by Mark Holborn, the volume situates Moriyama’s work within the shifting landscape of postwar Japan, where rapid modernisation met social disquiet. Fragmented, high-contrast images convey a restless energy that challenged photographic convention and helped shape the language of street photography worldwide. Interwoven texts, diary fragments and design echo Moriyama’s own serial publishing practice, reaffirming the photobook as his primary medium.
