Daido Moriyama: Stray Dog — The Rediscovered Slides
A rare visual record, rediscovered after 25 years.
In 1999, Daido Moriyama: Stray Dog was held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a groundbreaking exhibition that later toured the U.S. and Europe. It marked a pivotal moment in Moriyama’s career, launching him onto the international stage. As part of the show, 140 of Moriyama’s own hand-selected works were transferred onto slide film and presented as a slideshow.
Now, a quarter century later, the original film has been unearthed—prompting the creation of this long-awaited publication.
The book faithfully reproduces all 140 images from the original slideshow. Its cover features Moriyama’s iconic Stray Dog, Misawa in two versions: a standard print (LEFT) and its reverse (RIGHT), reflecting the duality that emerged as the photo spread through the world after it was taken in 1971.
Also included are essays by four internationally renowned curators who share their personal encounters with Moriyama’s work. Each story is followed by a rare commentary from Moriyama himself, reflecting on the past through their words. (All texts in English.)
Includes a separate booklet with full Japanese translations of all texts.
