Critics Review

A true avant-garde, radical then, radical now * Dazed *
A rich, dense and protean body of work * Guillotine *
Reads like a fevered rehearsal of all that photography can do when stripped of certainty. … To look at these photographs 50 years on is not so much about sensing how little they have aged, but rather about looking again, at what might be described as Moriyama’s language of estrangement. They remain encounters in passing - quick, unsettled, and alive * Art Review Asia *
Fragmented, high-contrast images convey a restless energy that challenged photographic convention and helped shape the language of street photography worldwide. Interwoven texts, diary fragments and design echo Moriyama’s own serial publishing practice, reaffirming the photobook as his primary medium * Photo London *
