DAIDO MORIYAMA

'Kyoku / Erotica' is Galerie Priska Pasquer’s second exhibition to be devoted exclusively to the work of Japanese artist Daido Moriyama. The exhibition will feature photographs from the series entitled 'Kyoku / Erotica', which was published in book form in 2007. (The word 'Kyoku' can be translated as 'danger zone').
The 'Kyoku / Erotica' series brings together photographs from cities such as Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Bangkok, Cologne, Buenos Aires and Sydney.
The title of the exhibition – 'Kyoku / Erotica' – reflects Daido Moriyama's ambivalent perception of the world. For Daido Moriyama, the world is both a danger zone and a minefield of sexual tension, a mixture of danger and allure.
