Project description
The Bagri Foundation is pleased to support a new landmark exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery, the first UK retrospective of Daido Moriyama, one of Japan’s most groundbreaking photographers.

From his early Japanese magazine contributions to his self-reflective period in the 1980s and 1990s, witness his evolution as he challenges photography’s essence. This exhibition showcases his iconic ‘are, bure, boke’ aesthetic, alongside rare photobooks, magazines, and over 200 artworks.

A culmination of three years of research, this retrospective is an unparalleled exploration of his legacy, organized by Instituto Moreira Salles and the Daido Moriyama Photo Foundation. Daido Moriyama: A Retrospective was curated by Thyago Nogueira, Instituto Moreira Salles.
