Bringing together approximately 90 representative photobooks and 130 original works by Magnum Photos, the world-renowned photographic cooperative, the exhibition offers an overview of the development of photographic art. It also presents a range of archival materials that illuminate the photobook-making process, including dummy books, plan sheets, and original prints. Through these materials, the exhibition explores how each photographerโ€™s distinctive vision and storytelling take shape through the sequencing, editing, and design of images, ultimately transforming the photobook into an independent work of art. In doing so, it traces the visual narratives Magnum Photos has developed over the past eight decades and the broader evolution of modern photography.
