Corbijn Sessions #15 | Jazzkaar: Marten Kuningas & Miljardid. Anton Corbijn special.

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.

Marten Kuningas. Anton Corbijn special.

Together with Miljardid, Marten Kuningas presents his interpretation of the finest works of artists captured through the lens of legendary photographer Anton Corbijn – David Bowie, Depeche Mode, U2, as well as David Byrne and Talking Heads.

Kuningas, who has previously delivered compelling tribute performances to the music of Bowie and The Beatles, has a keen sense for what truly matters as an interpreter, approaching the material with sensitivity and a strong personal voice.

The concert also marks the final day of the major solo exhibition by Dutch master photographer Anton Corbijn at Fotografiska Tallinn.

A lot of you have asked: Anton Corbijn will not be in Estonia for the event.

Anton Corbijn at Fotografiska: 24 January – 30 April

Anton Corbijn’s unmistakable visual signature has powerfully shaped the language of contemporary music and culture. The legendary photographer’s major retrospective, Corbijn, Anton, travels through five creative decades of his career – each frame steeped in the artist’s characteristic twilight, inhabited by someone who truly matters.

Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition opens up an authentic and extraordinary world, where Depeche Mode, David Bowie, U2, Patti Smith, and many others look back at us – figures who have left their mark, and whose mark Corbijn has in turn shaped. The experience is enriched by a video room bringing together Corbijn’s videography and iconic music videos that have defined generations.

Corbijn’s legacy and footprint in music are rock-solid – and this exhibition is a celebration of exactly that.
