Encountering the City at Tate Modern

Both William Klein and Daido Moriyama explore the modern condition of the city through their photography. Klein’s seminal work on New York and later Tokyo inspired a generation of street photographers, while Moriyama’s photographs offer a surreal take on the urban condition. In this tour of the current exhibition, photographer Rut Blees Luxemburg explores the construction of public space in the photographs of Klein and Moriyama, their connection to the street, and how both artists are using photography to explore the radical potential of shared urban presence within the city.
