For me, public toilets
were like little galleries. —Daido Moriyama
Daido Moriyama's photo book "THE TOKYO TOILET / DAIDO MORIYAMA / SWITCH" was announced at PARIS PHOTO, one of the world's largest photography fairs, to be held in November 2023.
This book, a re-edited version of a series that ran in the magazine "SWITCH" over a period of approximately three years, is comprised of 46 photographs of 17 public toilets in Shibuya Ward, which have been redesigned by 16 creators, including architects, art directors, and designers active both in Japan and abroad.
Although the public toilets are completely different, the photographs exude a common atmosphere, inviting the viewer into a mysterious, otherworldly space hidden within the everyday.
