Daido Moriyama – Passage 7, 1998-1999 – Polaroid

Unique black and white Polaroid; Signed by the artist.

'Passage 7' by Daido Moriyama is a Polaroid from 1998–1999, presenting a Japanese street corner rendered in sepia-toned monochrome at the Polaroid format's characteristic small scale of 10.5 × 9 cm. The scene is dense with urban texture: Coca-Cola vending machines line the left foreground, bicycles lean against a utility pole strung with overhead cables, and kanji signage crowds the facades of low-rise commercial buildings. Moriyama's signature is visible in blue ink at the lower right of the physical print. Moriyama rose to prominence through the 1960s Provoke movement, which rejected polished photographic convention in favour of a deliberately rough, immediate aesthetic. By the late 1990s he had turned to the Polaroid format as a direct, intimate way to work the same urban territory — Shinjuku and Tokyo's backstreets — that had defined his practice for decades, the instant image compressing his trademark sense of transience and material decay into a single, unrepeatable exposure.

Daido Moriyama (Japan, 1938) is a trailblazing Japanese photographer known for his gritty, high-contrast black-and-white street photography. Influenced by post-war realism and the Provoke movement, his work captures the raw energy of urban life. Moriyama often uses a compact camera and grainy film to create a spontaneous, immersive aesthetic.
