With PRINTING SHOW—TKY, Daido Moriyama re-staged his 1974 performance “Moriyama Daido Printing Show,” held at the Shimizu Gallery in Ogikubo, Tokyo, from March 23 to 31. In lieu of mounting photographic prints on the walls of the gallery, Moriyama brought in a photocopy machine and silk screen printing station. Using this equipment, he generated an ad hoc photobook composed of photocopied sheets staple-bound inside a silk screen cover. That book was called Another Country in New York, making use of photographs that he shot while in New York City in the winter of 1971 with Tadanori Yokoo. In the 2011 re-staging of this event at the Aperture Gallery, reciprocating the New York—Tokyo exchange, the photobook that Moriyama produced is titled TKY and features work shot in Tokyo over the last ten years.
