Shinjuku

Snapshots are very small personal fragments taken from the vast outside world. My photobook Shinjuku that was published a long time ago was created in the same manner. The many Shinjuku photos once printed in the book have been dismantled, further cut into countless pieces and revived as a collage to express the Now as felt and perceived by Shohei Yoshida. I think that within this creation process, and in the spiral-like transformation of the images lies the suppleness of photography itself. I look forward to take in this other Shinjuku created by Shohei Yoshidas concept from the photos that have long left my hands. ? Daido Moriyama (translation by shashasha)
