Corbijn Sessions #3: Enjoy the Silence Night Shift
February 6, 20:00–0:00
Corbijn Sessions at Fotografiska
Corbijn Sessions is a music-focused special program accompanying the entire Anton Corbijn exhibition at Fotografiska. It showcases a mix of large and small, intimate and crowded, intense and vibrant Corbijn experiences, including parties, DJ sets, performances, film screenings, workshops, special tours, and more.
Music Quiz x Night Shift
The first week of February marks 26 years since the release of Depeche Mode’s legendary single “Enjoy the Silence.”
“Words are very unnecessary,” sang Dave Gahan – and from that moment, the music world felt different, with the enjoyment of silence becoming music in its own right.
In celebration of this milestone, Corbijn Sessions takes over Fotografiska’s Night Shift on 6 February. From 20:00, the museum switches to night shift: music a little louder, lights slightly dimmer, and drinks a touch more spirited – the perfect mix for a Friday evening.
At 20:30, the exhibition hall hosts a Corbijn-themed music quiz (in Estonian) led by Aleksander Puumets, one of the driving forces behind Tallinn’s music quiz scene. The quiz lasts approximately 40 minutes.
The musical atmosphere continues until midnight with DJ Jaan Jaago. On this evening, Fotografiska’s cocktail curator Regor serves Corbijn-inspired cocktails to enjoy.
On Fridays, the exhibitions remain open until midnight, from 20:00 entry €10. Fotografiska Membership holders enter for free.
Anton Corbijn at Fotografiska: 24 January – 30 April
Anton Corbijn’s distinctive style has strongly shaped the visual language of modern music and culture. His major retrospective, Corbijn, Anton, spans five decades of creative work. Each frame in the exhibition features a figure rendered in Corbijn’s signature moody style, someone who is at once familiar and mysterious.
With over 150 works on display, the exhibition offers an authentic and extraordinary glimpse into a world inhabited by icons like Depeche Mode, David Bowie, U2, Patti Smith, and many others—artists who have left their mark, and whose mark Corbijn has captured.
The experience is enhanced by a powerful video room featuring Corbijn’s videography and iconic music videos that have influenced generations. Corbijn’s legacy in music and visual culture is undeniable, and this exhibition celebrates that enduring impact.
