Daido Moriyama: Record

　　深受多位日本攝影大師影響，當然還有威廉克萊茵(William Klein)，如同開宗祖師般，影響著森山大道的攝影風格。森山大道，在60年代早期，從大阪搬到東京成為攝影師。在動盪的社會思潮下，森山大道的風格汲取強烈的社會不安感，成為一派激烈的新攝影風格，強烈反應生硬的社會變遷與快速地城市節奏。

　　1972年6月到1973年7月之間，森山大道嘗試製作個人的攝影雜誌《Kiroku》。隨著它的發展，這本雜誌成為記錄他作品的日記體式的雜誌。《記錄》一書將所有三十期雜誌的作品按順序編輯，出現在雜誌上的森山大道自寫文章也會收錄進本書，完整記錄森山大道作品的發展與變化。《記錄》由國際著名的藝術圖書出版人、設計師與策展人Mark Holborn導讀，超過兩百幅作品，完整呈現雜誌的沿革。

Inspired by Japanese photographers, as well as by William Klein''s seminal photography book on New York, Daido Moriyama moved from Osaka to Tokyo in the early sixties to become a photographer. He became the leading exponent of a fierce new photographic style that corresponded perfectly to the abrasive and intense climate of Tokyo during a period of great social upheaval. Between June 1972 and July 1973 Moriyama produced his own magazine publication, Kiroku, which was then referred to as Record. It became a diaristic journal of his work as it developed. Ten years ago, after a decades-long interval, he was able to resume publication of Record. Now this book collects work from all thirty published issues, edited into a single sequence, punctuated by Moriyama''s own text as it appeared in the magazine. Produced at the magazine''s original size, with an introduction by Mark Holborn, this volume features more than 200 works from throughout the magazine''s history.

It used to be assumed that Moriyama''s peculiarly Japanese style was tied to his Tokyo roots. The evidence of the last ten years demonstrates that Moriyama, a restless world traveler, has been able to apply his unique vision to northern Europe; southern France; the cities of Florence, London, Barcelona, Taipei, Hong Kong, New York, and Los Angeles as well as the alleys of Osaka; the landscape of Hokkaido; and Afghanistan.
