Daido Moriyama,
‘Tokyo Color’ @
Luhring Augustine
—
“The color
describes what
I meet without
any filters, and
I like to record
the instant for
the way it looks
to me...”
‘Tokyo Color’:
Conveys Moriyama’s
ongoing fascination
with his urban
environment, and
his practice of
compulsively
collecting
impressions of
the city’s vibrancy,
as well as its
vulgarities.
The exhibition:
While best known
for his high-contrast
black and white
images, Moriyama's
second solo with
Luhring Augustine
in Brooklyn, entitled
‘Tokyo Color’,
highlights the Osaka-
born artist's long
engagement with
color photography —
featuring a slideshow
of his early
explorations with
color film, alongside
a series of his recent
color prints, as well
as a slideshow
projection.
Also featured:
Is a selection of
Moriyama’s iconic
black and white
“tights” portraits;
a subject that the
artist has continually
revisited since his
first series in the
1980's.
