The first signed edition of Daido Moriyama's Mizu No Yume envelops unique black and white photographs of landscapes and human lives. "My underlying thought was to show how in the most common and everyday, in the world of the most normal people, in their most normal existence, there is something dramatic," says the artist. The photographs are taken between 1968 and 1997 with scenes of industrial nighttime cityscapes. Water plays a key role in most of the photos, contrasting the raw settings. Moriyama's famous grainy and blurred style is inevitably visible in this edition published in 1999.
