The exhibition Witness to Nature, which investigates the relationship between humanity and nature through 150 works by leading photographers, opens at the new Prada pop-up store in The Selfridges Corner Shop in London, before travelling to key international cities.
Prada has always maintained a dialogue with the most important aspects of human life, investigating, championing and bolstering a range of cultural spheres. Its multidisciplinary approach forges vital connections between fashion and other languages and supports numerous forms of creativity.
Prada Reporter is an innovative concept that draws on this history of exploration. This fall, a series of pop-up stores present a special selection of Prada novelties while also hosting Witness to Nature, a photography exhibition produced in collaboration with Magnum Photos. The agency, which has remained true to its values of excellence, truth, respect and independence since its founding in 1947, represents some of the world’s most renowned photographers.
Within the Prada pop-up store, more than 150 images selected by Magnum Photos open an original conversation between Prada and eight acclaimed photographers, reflecting on the complex and constantly evolving relationship between man and nature. Images captured at all four corners of the Earth probe the unsolvable enigma of nature, with its juxtaposition of micro and macro, power and fragility, beauty and danger, while mankind observes and contributes to its perpetual transformation.
Witness to Nature celebrates nature and humankind through four key themes: Nature & Metropolis, Costumes & Cultures, Community & Seclusion, Eternal & Ephemeral.
