MAGNUM. 10 SEQUENCES - How cinema inspires photographers

The role of cinema in the photographic imaginary

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.

The ten photographers and the filmmakers or works that have inspired them are: · Abbas / Paisà (1946) by Roberto Rossellini · Antoine D’Agata · Bruce Gilden / American film noir · Harry Gruyaert / Michelangelo Antonioni · Gueorgui Pinkhassov / Andrei Tarkovsky · Gilles Peress / Repérages, by Alain Resnais · Mark Power / Camera Buff (1979) by Krzysztof Kieslowski · Alec Soth / Kings of the Road (Im Lauf der Zeit, 1976) by Wim Wenders · Donovan Wylie / Elephant (1989) by Alan Clarke · Patrick Zachmann / The cinema of Shanghai in the 1930s

Description of the Museum

Exhibitions to transmit ideas that aim to challenge the spectator's way of seeing. Free of rigid thematic constraints, the CCCB conceives exhibitions that are more than just compilations of works. We propose routes that the visitor completes, paths that fork into bold images and concepts, exercises with a clear capacity for experimentation.
