Off Broadway is an area of New York where traditionally
alternative theatre was born and established itself. A new,
different and more anti-conventional way of describing reality
was born in its cellars in recent decades.
Off Broadway is also a place where the six young
photographers of Magnum got together - Christopher Anderson,
Antoine D Agata, Thomas Dworzak, Alex Majoli, Paolo Pellegrin,
Ilkka Uimonen - each of them seeking to tell the story of their
reality in a different way.
Off Broadway is the first moment the six photographers
decided to gather their efforts, to mix their views together and to
organise an exhibition which, for the first time, reflected this new
photographic vision. It was a different exhibition in its approach
and content, with war reportage photos from Iraq, Palestine and
Afghanistan to Chechnya, Ethiopia and Kosovo, seen alongside
other images and fragments collected from around the world.
The exhibition was first shown in New York in the 60 Mercer
Gallery, and since at Rencontres d Arles festival, France, the
Leica and Rheinland-pfalz, Berlin, and the Padiglione d Arte
Contemporanea, Milan.
With over 100 photos gathered from the inaugural New
York exhibition, this new compilation features a CD musical
accompaniment by the renowned Italian musician Fabio Barovero.
