The photobook MENU was produced as part of PRINTING SHOW, held on October 14, 2012 at the Tate Modern. PRINTING SHOW is a re-staging of MORIYAMA DAIDO PRINTING SHOW performed at the Shimizu Gallery in Tokyo, March 23–31, 1974. In lieu of mounting photographic prints on the walls of the gallery, Moriyama instead 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. In its 2012 re-staging, Moriyama will produce MENU, featuring work from throughout Moriyama’s career and recent color work. Attendees to the event were invited to participate in the edit and sequence of their own copy of MENU, choosing from a menu of forty-eight double-sided sheets and two cover options. As a result, each copy of the edition is unique.Edition of 250 Signed and numbered
