Magnum - 10 Sequences


While I was in Barcelona last summer I saw a Magnum exhibition at the Contemporary Culture Centre {CCCB} that explored how film inspires photographers. It was interesting to see the cross over between genres and the different dialogs between mediums. The CCCB writes this about the show:

"Ten photographers from Magnum Photos evoke the influence of the cinema on their imaginary. The exhibition has invited photographers representing different generations and trends of documentary photography to each produce an original work, showing how the cinema can infiltrate their way of capturing reality. The resulting pieces, photographs or audiovisual installations, reveal how a filmmaker, a film or a single shot have left an imprint on their imaginary and their body of work. Transition, infiltration and superposition between the two worlds."
