森山大道,我的寫真全貌

Rate this book
我們真的認識森山大道嗎?

2009年「森山熱」正式登台,從出版、展覽到親自來台,引發一陣旋風。在多本自述散文之外,這是第一本透視森山大道創作的專書。經由他的第一手自述,認識他自六0年代起的創作歷程,深刻地解讀他的經典主題系列、創作手法與影像思考。

徘徊在新宿街頭的森山大道、耽溺在犬的記憶中的森山大道、因為失戀進入攝影的森山大道,究竟是為了什麼開始攝影?年過七十依舊堅持風格、持續疾走的森山大道,這位以高反差、粗粒子、模糊、晃動、失焦、強烈黑白攝影風格聞名的代表人物,究竟如何走上攝影之路?對攝影的反省為何?如何參與細江英公的「薔薇刑」拍攝?為何自費出版刊物?如何受到安迪.沃荷、威廉.克萊因、東松照明的啟蒙?反覆閱讀太宰治的哪本小說?如何與相機合體,進入30分鐘不停拍的街拍狀態?完成六百頁的《新宿》攝影集?為何作品特別引發年輕人共鳴?他是如何接受藤井謙二郎的邀請,拍攝《≒森山大道》紀錄片?為何想拍宇多田光的人像照?

不走進街道深處,永遠只是路過者!

《森山大道,我的寫真全貌》集結了森山大道迄今最新的對談紀錄,時序從1990-2000年。書中分為一、二部。

第一部「說攝影」,森山大道暢談自己的創作脈絡、街拍手法與創作理念。說出了「我的攝影只是拍下日常的片斷而已。不會形成故事的,絕對不會」、「我的皮膚和街道的表象,在交錯的那瞬間實在非常有趣」、「街道就是博物館,劇場,圖書館,舞台」……,大師自剖創作時的感動瞬間與獨到見解。

第二部「談攝影」,透過與吉田修一、中平卓馬、田中長德、Homma Takashi……到荒木經惟,對談者每位都是日本藝文界赫赫有名的大人物,從文學詩集到數位相機,多方位地對照彼此相異中有同、同中有異的相對思維。

About the author

Daidō Moriyama

291 books56 followers
Daidō Moriyama (Japanese: 森山 大道, Hepburn: Moriyama Daidō, born October 10, 1938) is a Japanese photographer best known for his black-and-white street photography and association with the avant-garde photography magazine Provoke.

Moriyama began his career as an assistant to photographer Eikoh Hosoe, a co-founder of the avant-garde photo cooperative Vivo, and made his mark with his first photobook Japan: A Photo Theater, published in 1968. His formative work in the 1960s boldly captured the darker qualities of urban life in postwar Japan in rough, unfettered fashion, filtering the rawness of human experience through sharply tilted angles, grained textures, harsh contrast, and blurred movements through the photographer's wandering gaze. Many of his well-known works from the 1960s and 1970s are read through the lenses of post-war reconstruction and post-Occupation cultural upheaval.

Moriyama continued to experiment with the representative possibilities offered by the camera in his 1969 Accident series, which was serialized over one year in the photo magazine Asahi Camera, in which he deployed his camera as a copying machine to reproduce existing media images. His 1972 photobook Farewell Photography, which was accompanied by an interview with his fellow Provoke photographer Takuma Nakahira, presents his radical effort to dismantle the medium.

Although the photobook is a favored format of presentation among Japanese photographers, Moriyama was particularly prolific: he has produced more than 150 photobooks since 1968.
