Klein and Moriyama tell an evocative tale of two cities
ANY retrospective promising images of New York or Tokyo immediately and effortlessly excites the cultural imagination of the would-be spectator. A title featuring both cities, then, might be seen more as an event than an exhibit, offering singular aesthetic enlightenment and the inevitability both of new questions and unforeseen paradoxes. Yet even William Klein + Daido Moriyama: New York Tokyo Film Photography betrays that full metropolitan nuance, presenting as it also does shots of Paris, Moscow and Madrid.
