Shashin yo Sayonara is the central book of the Provoke movement, born out of Moriyama's perceived limitations of Provoke's manifesto and photography as a medium. The resulting combination of images re-photographed from newspapers, magazines, television screens, other people's negatives, and his own pictures composed mainly of out-takes, scratched frames, and blurred images was sequenced by two editors at Shashin Hyoron-sha in a seemingly random order to create a visual manifestation of the overpowering density of life in modern Japan.
