About

Daido Moriyama continues his photo diary-like “Record” series. Originally started in 1972 and revived in 2006, Moriyama publishes several of these zine-like photobooks each year. For issue 56, Moriyama photographed mainly in Yokosuka, the city where his career once began and where he now lives at the age of 85. His black-and-white photographs extract out singular moments, capture the materiality of surfaces and textures, and rearrange reality into new contexts.
