This New ‘Art Hotel’ in Japan is Filled with Photos by Daido Moriyama
There's a new photographer-themed hotel that just opened up over in Japan, and it features photos in an unusual way. The new DAIDO MORIYAMA X ROCK STAR HOTEL in Osaka is a six-floor building that's packed with photos by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama -- some of the spaces have images on the walls from floor to ceiling.
Photographer Lets Exhibition Attendees Build Their Own DIY Photo Books
In 1974, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama had an exhibition in Tokyo called "Printing Show" that featured a Xerox machine in the center of the room manned by Moriyama himself. Visitors were encouraged to select photos from the show, which were then reproduced and assembled into custom photo books. This past weekend, Moriyama repeated the show in New York, once again using a photocopier to provide attendees with custom signed editions of the DIY book. The book was titled "TKY" and bound in a nice silk-screened cover.
