Roth, The Book of 101 Books 218 ff. – Erste und einzige Ausgabe, eines der wichtigsten japanischen Fotobücher und des bekanntesten Werks des berühmten japanischen Fotografen. – Dazu: Orig.-Photographie (Silbergelatine, 23 x 15,5 cm.), Rückenakt. verso von D. Moriyama signiert und num. 125/150. – „Chaotic everyday existance is what I think Japan is all about. This kind of theatricality is not just a metaphor but is also, I think, our actual reality“ (D. Moriyama). – „To get even closer to this actual reality, to record it more thruthfully, Moriyama wanted to make himself a machine, to get beyond subjectivity and become more like a camera, and this desire is brought to a new level in ‚Bye, Bye Photography, Dear‘.“ (D. Levi Strauss in Roth). – „Shashin yo sayonara ( Bye Bye Photography) is the most extreme monument of the Provoke period, indeed one of the most extreme photobooks ever published … Moiyama’s vision is entirely consistent, and his willingness to be led to the edge of photography’s coherence is the photographic equivalent of Surrealist automatic writing by a camera that almost has a mind of its own. „I wanted to go to the end of photography“ he declared, and the book is a summation of the Provoke period. It reads like a jerkly hand-held cinéma vérité film“ (Parr/Badger). – Sehr gutes Exemplar.
