"The scenery that I felt and perceived with my eyes was indeed that same old Marrakesh, that I hadn't seen for half a century. " - DAIDO MORIYAMA (Experts from the original text of Record No.30)
A world revealing in the shades of grey appearing between the light and the shadow created by the beam pouring in from the window. The images of the people, the streets connects to the hidden territory of the memory deep inside. Daido Moriyama traveled among the old city of Marrakesh, through the crowded market street into the foot of the Atlas Mountains. This issue contains the images captured at Marrakesh, Morrocco, where he visited the place for the first time in the past 26 years where he had his solo exhibition in November 2015.
Daidō Moriyama (born October 10, 1938) is a Japanese photographer noted for his images depicting the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan.
Born in Ikeda, Osaka, Daidō Moriyama studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He produced a collection of photographs, on “Nippon gekijō shashinchō” Though not exclusively, Moriyama predominantly takes high contrast, grainy, black and white photographs within the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, often shot from odd angles. Moriyama’s photography has been influenced by Seiryū Inoue, Shōmei Tōmatsu, William Klein, Andy Warhol, Eikoh Hosoe, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, the dramatist Shūji Terayama, and Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road”.
