DAIDO MORIYAMA (Japan, 1938), for Evisen. "Eye", "Band aid", "Tights". Offset prints on wood. Set of 3 skateboards. Measurements: 82 x 21 cm. Daido Moriyama studied design in Osaka, but in 1961 he became interested in photography so he decided to learn it. His first teacher was Takeji Iwamiya and later he learned from Eikoh Hosoe. He was a founding member of the Provoke group, an experimental magazine created in 1968, together with Takuma Nakahira and Koji Taki. Provoke sought to rethink the aesthetics of contemporary photography, as well as to question the language that, influenced by Western, and therefore increasingly commercial, currents, they saw expanding within their society. In 1974 he founded the Photo Workshop School in Tokyo together with Nobuyoshi Araki, Masahisa Fukase, Eikoh Hosoe, Noriyaki Yokosuka and Shomei Tomatsu. His main student was Keiz? Kitajima. His work is characterized by a technique that often uses flou-like effects or blurs in the figures, overexposures and strong hallmarks in black and white, so that they may look like imperfect photographs.5 The subjects he deals with are mostly about city life, using a radical visual language inspired by Robert Frank, Sh?mei T?matsu, Andy Warhol and William Klein. Among the awards he has won are the 1983 annual prize awarded by the Photographic Society of Japan and the 2004 Culture Prize of the German Photographic Association.
