View from the Laboratory (Signed) is a collection of works by Daido Moriyama, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. This book is a homage to the French inventor and pioneer of photography, Nicéphore Niépce. Moriyama actually visited France, visiting Niépce's town where he was born and raised, his existing maison, and even the buildings where Niépce worked, sharing the scenery from the windows that Niépce would have seen, capturing the time and space on camera. Since the mid-1970s, Moriyama had been in a slump, unable to take photos, and spending time relying on medication, but Niépce gave him the opportunity to return to the origins of photography, which is to simply capture the facts in front of you, the products of light and shadow, without clinging to technique or style. He made a comeback in the 1980s with Light and Shadow (1982), and in 1989 released his first official homage to Niépce, Letters from Saint-Loup. This time, we actually took the long-awaited trip to visit Niépce's birthplace. Signed by the photographer .
