Daido Moriyama Record 62 (Record (記録))

Idea, 2026, Softcover, 120 pages, 29 x 21 cm

The year 2026 marks 200 years since French inventor and photography pioneer Nicéphore Niépce produced ‘View from the Window at Le Gras’, the earliest surviving photograph from nature. Daido Moriyama ponders this in his short text accompanying this edition of ‘Record’, writing about his appreciation for the great inventor and how grateful he is that photography exists. “When I walk around with my camera day by day, there is a delicate sense of pleasure that walks along with me as I copy and connect sceneries of streets and alleys through the photographs that I take. After all, it’s a photographer’s life that I’m living.”
