Made at Tate Modern, London, 14 October 2012
Printing Show was an adaptation of Daido Moriyama's 1974 performance of the same name, in which visitors saw the photographer stationed at a photocopy machine duplicating his prints, the output staple-bound with a silkscreened cover. On 14 October 2012 the performance was restaged inside Tate Modern as a one-day event coinciding with the opening of the exhibition William Klein + Daido Moriyama. The entire book-making process was carried out live on site in full view of the participants, who edited and sequenced their own limited-edition photobook using Moriyama's images. Each copy was signed by the photographer. The photobook generated in this performance was entitled MENU.
