Daido Moriyama: "Kyoku / Erotica", 2007

“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.
