Daido Moriyama

How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6

Daido Moriyama shot his 'How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6: Tights in Shimotakaido' series in the early 1980s, after carrying out self-conscious visual experiments in 'Farewell to Photography' (1972) and 'Light and Shadow' (1982). The mesh pattern featured in this series is a recurring motif in Moriyama’s works. Underlying Moriyama’s photographs are scenes found while walking through the city that create a sense of déjà-vu and memories of formative scenes, which makes the repeated appearance of certain images unavoidable. The mesh pattern in particular shows Moriyama’s obsession for abstracting images into a highly anonymous aggregate.
