The exhibition will include images from Moriyama’s most recent photographic series, “Buenos Aires” and will be the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery since Shinjuku , 2002.

“…Buenos Aires, a town of wild dogs, a villa, tango and football…there is a chaos and seduction in such a junky and hip town. Yet, its atmosphere makes me feel a nostalgia that brings to mind of times gone by…A shady and fishy town, with bands of wild dogs, a mixed breed of people and indigenous music, such a town is undoubtedly sexy…”
Daido Moriyama, 2004/2005

Having visited Buenos Aires twice, Moriyama captured with his lens its streets and people – its climate all that he has been longing for some time.

The artist will have three concurrent exhibitions in the following spaces:
