Explore modern urban life in New York and Tokyo through the
photographs of William Klein and Daido Moriyama. This is the first
exhibition to look at the relationship between the work of influential
photographer and filmmaker Klein, and that of Moriyama, the most
celebrated photographer to emerge from the Japanese Provoke movement of
the 1960s.
With work from the 1950s to the present day, the exhibition
demonstrates the visual affinity between their urgent, blurred and
grainy style of photography and also their shared desire to convey
street life and political protest, from anti-war demonstrations and gay
pride marches to the effects of globalisation and urban deprivation.
The exhibition also considers the medium and dissemination of
photography itself, exploring the central role of the photo-book in
avant-garde photography and the pioneering use of graphic design within
these publications. As well the issues of Provoke magazine in
which Moriyama and his contemporaries showcased their work, the
exhibition will include fashion photography from Klein’s work with Vogue and installations relating to his satirical films Mister Freedom and Who Are You Polly Maggoo?
