DIES IRAE

DIES IRAE is the first large-scale retrospective exhibition for the frequently honoured Magnum photographer Paolo Pellegrin.

He takes us with him to the black spots on the map, and the black pages of our recent history: from Afghanistan to Sudan, from Tahir Square to Palestinian territory, from Katrina to the tsunami of 2004. This is work that marked by war, revolt and natural violence. But you should not expect pamphleteering. Pellegrin belongs to  a generation of socially engaged photographers who, despite their clear moral compass, refuse to preach and always keep the measure of mankind in mind.
