Photo Elysée, Place de la Gare 17, 1003 Lausanne

Photo Elysée in Lausanne is presenting a major exhibition devoted to one of Japan’s greatest photographers. This retrospective, produced by the Instituto Moreira Salles in Brazil, is currently on show in Lausanne, having recently appeared in Berlin and London.

Daidō Moriyama: A Retrospective exhibition at Photo Élysée

Photo Élysée, formerly known as Musée de l'Élysée is hosting this timely retrospective exhibition. Throughout his career, Daido Moriyama certainly changed the public's opinion of photography, using his camera to document his immediate surroundings and to visually explore post-war society in Japan. His unparalleled visual language is as celebrated as his publications, which are numerous and of critical acclaim.

Daido Moriyama, born in 1938, rose to prominence in the 1960s, celebrated for his avant-garde black and white street photography. He famously captured the essence of post-war Japan and released his revered photo book Japan: A Photo Theater in 1968.

For over 60 years, the public and mass media have been captivated by Moriyama’s work, thanks to the depiction of the rawness and drama of everyday life in his photos. Moriyama's work shows the contrast between Japanese tradition and the sudden westernisation that was ushered in due to the US military occupation of Japan after World War 2.
