Theatre of the Ordinary: Vivian Maier exhibition opening

Save the date!

Mark your calendar – on September 18, we open the door to the extraordinary world of Vivian Maier. A theatre of the ordinary, where everyday life unfolds through moments that are both deeply rooted in their time and timeless in their appeal.

The world’s most famous unknown photographer pointed her camera where life was truly unfolding: on city streets, among passers-by, in fleeting encounters and everyday rituals. Her photographs capture moments that are at once seemingly mundane and enduringly evocative.

Yet the story of Vivian Maier is as extraordinary as the photographs themselves. Hidden from the world for decades, her images were discovered only after her death, sparking one of the most enigmatic and extraordinary chapters in the history of photography.

On the exhibition’s opening night, we invite you to step into Vivian Maier’s world. More information coming soon.

Vivian Maier Unseen Work, 19 September – 17 January

Few stories in photography are as remarkable as that of Vivian Maier. Working as a nanny in New York and Chicago, she explored the city streets with the children in her care, camera always at hand. From this unique position, she captured the rhythms, characters, and unexpected moments that define urban life. From the 1950s to the 1980s, she created a striking visual portrait of post-war America – one that remained hidden for decades. Discovered only after her death, Maier’s photographs have since secured her place among the greatest street photographers of the twentieth century.
