Close Enough

Twenty-five years after the exhibition Magnum° . Reflections on the World, which also marked the official opening of C/O Berlin and laid the foundations for its recognition as an institution of international photography, the renowned photo agency Magnum returns to C/O Berlin with a group show.

Close Enough presents the work of thirteen exceptional Magnum photographers who strongly shaped the visual language of the photo agency with their particular visions. The exhibition includes intimate, moving, and socially relevant works that foreground human closeness and vulnerability as well as explore the fine line between documentary photography and personal perspective. With sensitive series and powerful individual images, the artists examine subjects such as identity, femininity, social justice, representation, and conflicts—both a challenge and an invitation to approach people and get close enough to the various realities of their lives.

With works by Olivia Arthur, Myriam Boulos, Sabiha Çimen, Cristina de Middel, Bieke Depoorter, Carolyn Drake, Cristina García Rodero, Nanna Heitmann, Susan Meiselas, Hannah Price, Lúa Ribeira, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Newsha Tavakolian.

Organized by Magnum Photos, in collaboration with C/O Berlin.
