Daido Moriyama - transit - 2002

Daido Moriyama’s "transit," published in 2002, is emblematic of his ongoing exploration of urban environments and the ephemeral nature of modern life. Moriyama’s photographic approach frequently involves blurred and grainy images that capture the transitory moments and fragmented sensations within the bustling cityscape. The title "transit" itself underscores themes of movement and passage, both physical and psychological. Through this work, Moriyama continues to challenge traditional photographic aesthetics, offering a raw and unvarnished view of human interactions and loneliness in the metropolis. This publication is essential for those interested in postwar Japanese photography and the evolution of street photography as an art form.
