History:
Daido Moriyama (b. 1938; Osaka, Japan) is renowned for his raw black-and-white street photography which emphasizes the exploration of photography as a medium rather than accurately depicting reality. Moriyama’s gritty, high-contrast photographs of Tokyo’s vibrant Shinjuku district touch on themes of identity, memory, and the transient nature of urban life.
Avo Tavitian (b. 1954; Beirut, Lebanon) discovered photography as a channel to express his connection to ever-changing landscapes. After relocating to the east coast of the United States in the late 60s due to the 1967 Middle East war, Tavitian felt a sense of displacement and developed a unique outsider sensibility which would later influence his photography style.
