Intro

Photo Elysée presents a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to one of Japan's most famous photographers.

Photo Elysée presents a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to one of the most famous Japanese photographers. The retrospective, organized by the Instituto Moreira Salles (Sao Paolo, Brazil), is now making a stop in Switzerland after Berlin and London.

Over the course of his 60-year career, Daido Moriyama (born 1938 in Osaka) has significantly changed the way we see photography. With his camera, he has not only documented his immediate surroundings and created a visual social analysis of post-war Japan, he has also questioned the photographic medium itself.

His incomparable visual language has received just as much recognition as his numerous publications, which play a central role in his work.

Daido Moriyama's photographic themes have always captivated viewers, whether it is mass media and advertising, social taboos or the theatricality of everyday life. He has captured the clash between Japanese tradition and accelerated Westernization that followed the American military occupation of Japan after the end of the Second World War. Inspired by American artists such as Andy Warhol and William Klein, the photographer brought the emerging Japanese consumer society to life and explored the reproducibility of images, their distribution and consumption. Moriyama has also repeatedly placed his own image archive in new contexts and experimented with enlargements, cropping and image resolution. To this day, his pioneering artistic spirit and visual intensity are considered groundbreaking and innovative.

From September 7 to 29, 2024, the Biennale Images Vevey and Photo Elysée will be showing the installation "Pretty Woman" on the occasion of the exhibition

"Daido Moriyama. A Retrospective".
