NEW!! GALLERIA SOZZANI PRESENTA ” SELECTED EXHIBITION FROM THE ARCHIVES” – DAISO MORIYAMA IN COLOR

Now that we are temporarily closed we will continue to share online content, exhibitions, interviews, videos from Fondazione Sozzani archives over the coming weeks.

In 2015 the Galleria Carla Sozzani presented the exhibition Daido Moriyama in Color curated by Filippo Maggia, featuring for the first time in Italy a body of over one hundred color images by Daido Moriyama, the Japanese master of black and white photography.

“The black and white tells about my inner world, my emotions and deep feelings that I feel every day walking through the streets of Tokyo or other cities, as a vagabond aimlessly. The color describes what I meet without any filters, and I like to record it for what it looks like to me. The first one is rich in contrasts, is harsh and fully reflects my solitary nature. The second one is polite, gentle, as I set myself towards the world.”

With these words Hiromichi (Daido) Moriyama, born in Ikeda, Osaka Prefecture, in 1938 – distinguishes his photographic production in the video interview that introduces the exhibition.
