The resulting pictures transcend the bounds of a 'social study.' Paris brings forth the subject's personality in each portrait and thus reveals the human uniqueness of these individuals behind their social and public roles. More →

William S. Burroughs (1914-1997) was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Despite his prolific achievements as a novelist, essayist, spoken word performer and painter, Burroughs’ work as a photographer is rarely acknowledged.
Coinciding with the centenary of Burroughs’ birth, Taking Shots will be the first exhibition worldwide to focus on Burroughs’ vast photographic oeuvre and offers new and important insights into his artistic and creative processes. More →

Despite his fame as a painter, filmmaker and colourist, Andy Warhol’s use of photographic imagery permeates his practice. However, it was only later in his life, when acquainted with the compact cameras of the 1970s, that he focused on photography in its own right.
Using 35mm black and white film, Warhol (1928 – 1987) carried a camera with him most of the time – taking up to 36 frames a day. Capturing everyday details, people, street scenes, celebrity parties, interiors, cityscapes and signage his subjects all reflect the artist’s characteristic indifference to hierarchy. More →

Featuring black and white interiors and exteriors of industrial structures, the exhibition exudes the unique cinematic style of Lynch (b. 1946, USA) through dark and brooding images. More →
