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.
