The Taste of Distance

Long Story Short presents Daido Moriyama: The Taste of Distance, on view September 3 – October 12, 2025, at 52 Henry Street, New York. First realized at Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2016, this groundbreaking participatory project comes to New York for the first time. Centered on the creation of Record(mazemaze)—a special edition of Moriyama’s iconic photobook series Record—the exhibition invites visitors to collaborate in the making of his work, underscoring the democratic and continually evolving nature of his practice. Presented alongside prints and a silent video projection from Moriyama’s celebrated Record series, the exhibition affirms the artist’s enduring commitment to photography as a medium of immediacy, multiplicity, and continual reinvention.

At the heart of The Taste of Distance is a collaborative workshop in which audiences assemble their own unique photobook from Moriyama’s photographic material. Each iteration of Record(mazemaze) reflects the artist’s embrace of repetition and variation, expanding his idea that photography is not a singular object but an open-ended process of re-seeing and re-making.
