Labyrinth

Daido Moriyama

born in 1938 in Ikeda (Japan)

In 2012, Daido Moriyama revisited 10,000 of his own images to create Labyrinth. Far from merely disclosing contact sheets – a making-of often fantasized by the public – the artist assembles on one sheet negatives from different epochs. In this maze of images where places and years constantly overlap, Daido Moriyama affirms that what links photographs is not their time and location but their contents, their compositions and the interplay of meanings.
